I'm making the aileron cables for my 2+2 wing; and of course there is very little guidance in the plans. I've seen it done so many different ways that I'm a bit confused how to make these up. For the balance cable, I will make up the cockpit end after wings are mounted. One cable end (left cable inside cockpit) will have a cable eye at the end of a turnbuckle; the other cable end will have a bolt through the end of the cable between two links used on a Super Cub. Sound ok? Or, end the turnbuckle in forks on both cables and one link to connect in the cockpit? The aileron ends will have an eye on the cable with a fork to connect to the aileron horn on the top; is that correct? I have seen the balance cable connected to the lower end of the aileron horn with a turnbuckle and a fork or just a shackle on the end of the cable; what is the best way to make that connection? I've seen it many different ways but can't find any good pictures to better understand the option. Any help, or even better some pictures, would be a big help. This is the last step before covering the wings so I'm ready to get this done. Thanks.
