| Here is a pic of Curtiss showing his shoulder cradle frame which was hinged at the bottom, allowing him to "push/lean" left or right with his shoulders, to push or pull the aileron control wires attached near the top of the cradle. |

| This is the right hand side of the big "Cleveland" plan. There are no Rudder pedals in this version, only a Rudder Tiller that works off of control wires attached to the control column stick. It also shows details of the "Shoulder Cradle" yoke harness that controled the interplane Ailerons positioned between the wings, and Curtiss' ingenious method of contol wires and pulleys connecting to the Aileron control horn drive arms. |
