Also on the bellcrank topic. My experience with several Skyrays is that the controls tend to be sensitive, "twitchy", especially if the flyer has limited experience. In general, it's good to have a range of adjustability on your control horn holes from "not sensitive enough" to "too sensitive," so that "just right" is somewhere in the middle (the Goldilocks principle

). My standard experience with Skyrays was to have the pushrod in the lowest horn hole and the thing was still too sensitive. I couldn't hold it steady in level flight.
Brett's combination of the outer bellcrank hole (stock SIG 3" with 2 holes) and a horn hole 1" below the hinges (that's a long horn) PLUS a wider 2" wide elevator may possibly give you a sensitive plane, with no room to reduce sensitivity. Especially if your CG is not as far forward as Brett's. 7/8" is a well-forward CG.
For my 2 cents' worth, I would simply put the pushrod in the inner bellcrank hole if you're using the stock SIG 3-incher. You can still make the plane as sensitive as Brett's setup if you want, by using a higher hole in the horn, and have a wider range of elevator travel adjustment.
Hope you enjoy it. It's a good plane.
