A second cable passing over a pulleyin the brace above the body exerts an upwardpull on one wing as its end attached to theother wing is drawn down. When the ma-chine tips to one side or the other the aviatorhas only to swing the wheel to the high sidein order to warp the wings and bring it backto an even keel, while in order to go up ordown he pushes the wheel away from ordraws it toward his body. The verticalrudder is turned to right or left by the feet,which rest upon a pivoted crosspiece like thatused in steering a bobsled.
