Messing around with aileron and flap cables is not a given, with the right
design features.

I have read about some planes, (in the case I am thinking of, sailplanes)
that have the linkages mate in such a way that no tools are even needed.
Anyone know of what I am remembering?

The two aileron cables are connected to a "Swash plate" located at the wing
joint. Another matching swash plate is mounted in the wing with cables
continuing to the aileron bell crank.

When the wing is in place, the two swash plates are in contact. Which ever
way the inner plate moves, the outer plate must follow.
