Exactly what I was going to say .... the SWB site. The straight and offset arms are to be applied for differnt pull-pulkl set-ups if you need to cross your lines or if the rudder horns are inline/offset fron the rudder hingeline. There are several possible set-ups, and the SWB site gives some very understandable diagrams and explanations.
