Aileron Push Rod

Have a quick question, I'm re-installing my ailerons and forgot to mark the pushrod orientation. The shaft has a dog-leg, is the "long side" toward the aileron or the wing? (sorry, I also posted this in the Market Place section by accident)
Thanks, Jim S

Hi Folks. This thread is a bit old but only 6597 responded. My aileron push rods are opposite from 6597's. My ailreons have full travel without any interference and full deflection. I don't have any doubt that over the years, things might have been installed backward, but which one of is is correct? Thanks for your help,

Dave

Both of mine are long side to wing.

Thanks everyone. I'm going to be in the system and might was well switch them around.

I don't remember, and can't get to the plane right now, but I do recall that if you reverse them they just look wrong, at at least one of the limits.
