The bellcrank should have been included.  However, replacements can be had from rsmdistribution.com brodak.com and SIG (sorry, don't have the URL for that one)  If you are in the Los Angeles Area, Covina Hobbies and Smith Brothers have a good supply of C/L stuff.  And advice!

Put your location in your profile, and we'll have a better idea of what your local hobby shop is!!  Some hobby shops will be very helpful with control line stuff, others less so.

What Larry said.  Add Brodak's to the list: http://www.brodak.com.  They have lots of stuff.

You probably want a three inch bellcrank.  Don't even think about using a little bitty 1/2-A bellcrank for the job!

Be sure to check back here if you get stuck again.

Do the instructions show how the bell crank should be mounted?

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

Ron,
I have a couple of three inch 'cranks here, I'll send one home with Jeff today.  He's coming out to assist me with a four-hand guitar task.

I just purchased a bunch of stuff from Brodak, bellcranks included. Brodak is great!

I paid 2.20 ea. for mine. I always use two, one over the other.

You'll find that bellcranks are like ties. Everyone has their own preferences and for good reasons.

I have a Flite Streak, actually an original one. Don't know if I should build it or or take it to the picture frame shop, to have it mounted.   n~

Where are the build pictures? LL~ LL~ No raking leaves here in KC as the wind is blowing too hard and the neighbors get upset at my leaves in their yard.   Probably fire up the mulching machine tho. H^^
