Does anybody have a drawing or picture of the
torsion linkage used to drive the ailerons in
early Ventus or the rudder in Libelle ?
Or can tell me what that's called ?
Thanks !

PS: It was used to avoid external bellcranks,
with their associated fairings and drag. It's
out of favor because it is problematic
(cost, weight, stiction, etc), and it turns
out the fairings add negligible drag...
also called a skew drive..................we use it in a few places on
the HP-24, but it's a secret where...............I've said too much
already!
