[WWI] Maurice Farman Aileron Control Question

[Carlos Carreira]

Hi Clay, long time no see!

Some earlier aircraft had, while resting, all ailerons in the lowered
position, and this aplies to some pre-war Farmans. I'm not sure about the
M.F.11., but the only photo I saw with this is of a museum aircraft (
http://www.tekniskmuseum.no/no/utstillingene/fly/bilder/hallen_lite.jpg). I
remember that the technical issue was discussed here but I can't remember
how it works.
