Default RE: FALCON III COMPLETION

FIGURE 5: If I was to go with this configuration, where would I put the bellcrank? Would I place it between the ribs on a platform located beneath the ribs (and covering), going through holes in the ribs, to meet up with the servo in the middle? Don't see how that can be done though cause how could the rod get from beneath the wing sheeting to get to the servo? So that tells me the bellcrank would have to be set uncovered on the wing itself, how is this done? How would the rod go from the bellcrank to the servo without the wing saddle area of the fuselage getting in the way and causing the wing not to settle flush?

FIGURE 6: This is the method I prefer because I already have the tubes and rods to configure this method ( I will not have the funds to purchase the necessary items needed for figure 5 for a while) but I am wondering 2 things with this as well - 1]wouldn't the sharp curve of the pushrod tube cause binding with the pushrod? 2]how would I get the pushrod from the aileron to the servo without the same problem as above?

With either configuration how would I connect it from aileron to servo because as stated if I go through the ribs how do I get the connection onto the servo, which is above the wing sheeting? And if I go above the wing covering, having the rods exposed, how would I get that through the fuselages saddle area without lifting the wing up causing it not to be flush?

I am asking this because I only have 1 spare servo for the ailerons and can not find a 2nd for the other wing panel. Would it be simpler to just find the money to get another servo?
