drag anit drag wires

[Laz]

I cannot figure out which are the drag and which are the anti drag wires? I know Forrest says the drags should all be on the top so when you lift the rear spar they separate. I would also like to know the best way to determine if the wires have the proper tension?

Drag wires run from root front to tip rear, anti-drag wires run from root rear to tip front in each bay. The drag wires go on top.

"drag wires resist the wings drag" in other words the drag wires prevent the wing from folding up alongside the fuselage in a dive
