Richard, First of all, I would like to thank you for the work you are doing onyour website. The pictures help when you have any questions about building.I saw the pulley's on the website. The only thing I was wondering wasthat the elevator bell crank runs vertical. Won't this cause a deflectionin the 1/8" cable with dual pulley's. According to the 1934 plans it lookslike their is a deflection of the cable from the dual pulleys to the controlstick. Will this create any problems?. It is best to have a straight run inthe cable. Keep on building,________________________________________________________________________________
