This is the 396 that is the lower aileron pulley brackets correct?
Yes it does. This is also part of the cause of the aileron slop in the Moose. These lower pulleys flex and pull in and back when the tension gets tight on the cable. Some guys have purchased extra 396's and put one on the front and back of the pulley to stiffen things up. I did not do that but I made the support bracket (step 18, chapter 12, dated 7-11-02) out of steel instead of the raw stock .032 aluminum. It helped a lot. I wish I had beefed up the upper rear aileron pulley's better than what is in the plans - the ones that attach to the fuselage/wing root area - these pull the sides of the fuselage in slightly also contributing to the slop. I have determined nearly all of the slop or play in the ailerons is in the cable and pushrods inside the fuselage - not a whole lot of play out in the wing torque tubes.
FWIW
