I figure that was the approach you had taken. Did you ad fairleads in the ends of the tubes and secure them in some fashion?
I started my PA18 build in spring of 2020, I have frame all welded, gear built, tail section built and one wing. I'm not as fast as some, working solo. Thanks for the post.
That's what I would have done also. I'm going to try and replicate if you don't mind, I really like the design of using the factory placement of the rear pulley and mirror the brackets for the starboard side. Any details you might want to share would be greatly appreciated.
