Try www.controllinecentral.com - - Jim Snelson sells the Tom Morris Bellcrank, with leadouts attached, for around $9, depending on size, and excellent Morris Control Horns, too. All very reasonably priced.

Good luck,

David,

Each of those models were built with 3 inch bellcranks and this size will be fine until you become more proficient. It's true that the 4 inch bellcrank is more popular (it gives a smoother control feel for most of us), but many models were built and flown over the years with a 3 inch bellcrank.

It's been some time since I replaced the controls in my NoblARF, but IIRC there wasn't much room in there for anything bigger than a 3 incher anyway.

One point to consider:  The Tom Morris bellcranks are the Cadillacs of our event, but they are of the "suspended" design. That is, they are designed for a central pivot rod to be supported top and bottom with plywood pads. The bellcrank will ride in between supported top and bottom with steel or brass collars. This type of bellcrank will give a smooth control feel, but will require more mods to the Nobler. It's silly to use something this sophisticated in the Flight Streak.

IMHO, get some regular bolt-through Brodak or SIG 3" nylon bellcranks, Install your leadouts with brass tubing for bushings and simply bolt them back in the original location.

I've attached a couple of pictures to better explain my post. The first shows the suspended Morris bellcrank and the second shows the Brodak nylon bellcrank with the new bushed leadouts in an ARC Cardinal.

My .02,

The Flite Streak is just fine as delivered....put the pushrod to the furthest hole from the control surface....

The problems also lie in the crimped nature of the connections.  Even though many have used crimping as a form of terminating lines, swaging is much more reliable.  Plus, I am not REAL sure just how much care is taken by the Chinese in their "crimping".  Many, many people reported failures with the crimped leadouts.  Some in just 6 flights or less, others have a couple dozen or so.  Since it is apart, the extra security would seem a no brainer.

Thanks Bill.  I am waiting to receive some bellcranks that I have on order.  I also corrected the alignment of the tail on my Flite Streak.  So, I should have them both ready soon (Nobler and Flite Streak).  Then, I hope to meet up with you again for some more help to learn the stunt patterns.

I am looking forward to getting back together with you, too.  We just need to get a good plan of action going to have you ready for contest season next year!

Thanks Ty.  But I'm planning to just replace the Flite Streak bellcrank and lines through the access cover, and not to disassemble it.  I have disassembled the Nobler, and will also switch out that bellcrank and control lines.
