I have decided to remove the original controls from my Tutor and ordered a set of controls from CL Central. They look awesome and are miles better than the stock hardware. That being said, how do you go about changing the bellcrank out. Do you have to remove the covering? Do I have to remove the existing plywood bellcrank support? Any help would be much appreciated.. Thanks in advance..

Unfortunately I had to remove the covering to get the forward leadout threaded through the wing. I also had to cut the wingtip off to get the leadout through the adjustable leadout. The bellcrank mounting bolt was stripped and held in with epoxy so it had to go. I installed a 4 inch Morris bellcrank and had to relieve some of the front spar so the bellcrank would not hit it. The original bellcrank had two loops of the leadout wire through the hole and it was already frayed without any use. I am glad I went to the trouble of changing it out. The covering came off so easy I would imagine it wouldn't have lasted long. I also stripped the fuselage and will recover with silkspan and dope.
