<DIV><FONT face=Arial>For operable ailerons how about the Avro 504? The
control wires are on the outside of the wing. To me the hard part would be
the pulley wheels and bracket that holds them. With photo-etch the brackets
could be done and possibly do the wheel out plastic with a wire pin through
its center.</FONT></DIV>

to Diego a while back that someone COULD make operable controls in 1:48
