Hi guys,
It seems like the low wing guys get it easy when it comes to designing the aileron control linkages. I have a number of sets of plans for low wing aircraft, and the linkages are fairly straightforward. However, I can't find detailed drawings of how to control aileron movement in a high wing aircraft.

It's the offset of the wing which has my essentially 2-D brain struggling. I've designed what I think would be a simple system, but it is like NOTHING I have ever seen before, and as with almost everything in aircraft design, if it hasn't been done before, there is probably a good reason for it.

So - anyone care to help me out here?
