Title: Control mechanism for model aircraft

Abstract: A torsional control system for model aircraft is disclosed in which a torsional control line extends from the aircraft to a control handle for rotating the control line, and carries all tensional forces between the aircraft and handle. A flexible shaft has one of its ends attached to the control line at a point spaced from the control line's attachment to the aircraft and the other end attached to a control device on the aircraft adapted to be operated by rotation of the flexible shaft means. Rotation of the control line by the control handle produces a proportional rotation of the flexible shaft and control device without subjecting the control device to line tension in the control line. This abstract is not to be construed in any way to define or limit the invention set forth below.
