[WWI] Maurice Farman Aileron Control Question

[ernest thomas]

Clay, 
You understand the rigging correctly. Ailerons work the way you described; one goes up while the other goes down. Makes the airplane roll into a bank for turns. E.
Paradise is exactly like where you are right nowonly much, much better.

Greetings,
 
I'm building a 1:72 Maurice Farman M.F.11. I recently got a copy of the "Air Board Technical Notes" which shows detailed rigging plans for the Farman (and 4 other aircraft). It seems to me that when the ailerons are raised on one side of the aircraft, that the ailerons on the opposite side have to be lowered, based on how I understand the rigging path. Does anyone know if this is true? 
 
Thanks in advance for your help.
 
Clay Fulcher
