Full span/minimax ailerons

[Tom XL-7]

Yes would like torque tubes for aileron control with pushrods in center.  Eliminates the cables on struts.  Have done the engineering however I want an easy way to disassemble for inspection. Messing with primary controls not to be taken lightly.

Tom,
  on the XL, you would have the aileron with the tube through it, using delron bushings for NO wear- so both ends visible so to speak. --so no disassemble there
The connecting rods/horns would be exposed behind your seat center,-- so no disassemble there
Everything to stick would be in the open so nothing hid there either

what are you thinking might be hidden?

If you go by the plans for the cabin eagle or at least all the pictures available, the torque tube terminates at the inner aileron root, where it bolts to the root aileron rib.  Access panels could be installed where the support bushings go.

I was planning on ending the torque tube at the inboard end of the aileron for weight. I would like it removable for inspection
I just have not thought the details thru. Regardless everything to go stock would be in the original build including pulley mounts on the fuselage.

I wonder if an aluminum torque tube would be sufficient instead of the chromo tube called for in the CE plans.

The only real issue i see with the airbike style pushrod setup is the seat belt may interfere with them.  That, and youd have to use a bellcrank to change motion on them
