I am building a Wag 2+2; wood wing. The drawings show basically nothing regarding the aileron pulleys. I am stumped regarding the rear spar pulley. I have the wing assembly video from Cub Club and can see the pulley bracket welded to the aileron hanger. What I can't figure out is how the cable runs to the aileron horn. The pulley bracket seems to be on an angle but of center. Does it run to the aileron horn on an angle? I don't have a Cub to look at close by; does any one have any pictures? Does the rear pulley stick out above the fabric or is it just below the fabric? My wings are complete except for rigging and I am totally lost due to the lack of info on the drawings. Any help or pictures would be a big help.
Thanks,
Marty
