Wing warping

Wing Warping
Heres an idea to use wing warping on your WWI plane in effect using ailerons with less work involved.
The aluminium tubes replace the wing spars. Use 10mm diameter for about 2m spans and 6mm for smaller span models.

WING WARPING - Method of lateral control adopted by Wright brothers and many early builders/designers, in which a flexible wing is twisted (warped) to provide roll control as with ailerons.
...

Lateral or "rolling" motion accomplished by wing warping operated by a second lever. These were the only controls used in the earliest gliders. It remains to consider the third element' of control, viz: 3.

Effective lateral control (whether using wing warping or ailerons) requires a wing that is rigid enough to minimize unintended wing warping, and the unwanted lateral rolling that results.

They set about reading books about bird flight and making plans to build aircraft. They were the first people to build kites controlled by wing warping. Wing warping bends the wing and changes the way the air flows over it.
