There may be a plane out there that has such a control, but I think it would be hard to fly without at least a pulley system. Try holding a piece of sheet metal against the wind - most airplanes, even small ones, cruise well above 60 mph. Without some sort of leverage or pulley-cable system it would be hard to move the controls.
