Out of aluminum.
All the controls work as designed, by cables, chains, linkages and levers.

I don't know if this should be here or in The Garage. I'm not sure where it would be most appreciated. If you don't click that first link, be sure to click this second one. This is some unbelievable craftsmanship.

I remember seeing these a while ago. His attention to detail is marvellous. He certainly has a hell of a lot more patience than me when I was still building RC planes.

That's skill beyond what mortal men should possess. It would probably be easier to build a complete full sized airplane from scratch.

Wonderful craftsmanship. I'll bet his dental work was spectacular.

Yeah, this is a few years old at least. Still very cool though.
