Sport PAU 27% Pitts Challenger Build/Review
that's what I was thinking too, a rod through the aluminum material, hard to say how it would do in compression when it's pushing the aileron back up. might have to find a way to buy a length and take a better look at it when the wings are joined and mounted. the hard points for the slave strut...- Bartman

yes, i saw a reference to them that says the inboards have half the throw of the outboard ailerons. it's all mechanical and with weight being what it is for full scale planes (they don't have 2:1 or more power to weight rations like we do) i doubt there's anything other than aileron functions...- Bartman

Sport PAU 27% Pitts Challenger Build/Review
I was going to try to assemble a short history of the different Pitts Challengers that Sean Tucker has flown over the years but it's confusing to tell what happened and when.
