For Achim and other replica builders, here are some photos I scanned of the WWI German/Austrian rudder, aileraon, elevator control horns, some bell cranks and seat belt ends. I have none of these left to sell, as all are now in Berlin museum-hopefully to be used in their projects. But I thought there may be some useful details here. If you look close, you can see some of the tapered tubing and how some are split at the ends for control cable end fittings to go between and some of the stiffeneners, bushings, etc. Lots of small details here to be examined. One of the images shows a pair of the WWI seat belt ends with some of the webbing on one side. on the other side of this shock-absorbing spring fitting there is a slot with a small diameter roller in it. If anyone can pinpoint the aircraft these were used in, I'd be most interested.
Be sure to scroll down in the photos as some images have two photos in them...

Hello Joe,

Unfortunately no Fokker control horns included :-(

However, thanks for posting these images. Can you veryfy which piece came from which company and on what plane it was used?

Would you do more detailed images and rough sketches with dimensions of them? If so, I would be most interested.

Best

Achim
