Help!Need a aileron setup diagram!

I am planning on building a flying machine and need to know how to setup the wires in order to get the ailerons to move.Can anyone show me a diagram of a aileron wire setup (preferably of the Farman) please!

Have a few inches of control stick extend down below the pivot point. From that, have a control wire go to the right and to the left wings. Use pulleys where ever you need to get the wire to go back (that is, extending aft) to the upper aileron control horn on each side. Right wire goes to the right-hand aileron control horn.

The bottom control horns on each side are connected by a single continuous wire extending forward and then from right to left to the other control horn. This is the balance cable. You'll need at least two more pulleys for this one.

Left stick makes the left aileron trailing edge go up. Ditto the right.

This might not be historically accurate, but it works.
