...Also, as far as no one responding to your first post, I would imagine very few people on here are interested in control line now verses how popular it was in the past (I might be completely wrong but I am fairly young, just an observation), especially ones that might have built the Flight Streak. However it is unusal to see a post go unanswered.
Good luck with your plane!
Not so! Many people are interested in CL. As you mentioned, many have BUILT Flite Streaks. Perhaps not so many here have the ARF version and can speak for it. I would suggest you do a search on the ARF FS.
The original FS was designed for the Fox .36 "combat special". Today it is mostly used for sport and as a stunt trainer. Many prefer a modern .20 - .25 to the old Fox because of vibration. Either will work.
I think the balance point shown for the ARF was WAY back from where it should be originally. Perhaps this has been changed. Most seem to balance them at or forward of the wing spar...at least in the beginning.
Most of this informaqtion is from reading old posts. I have never had the ARF version so I can not address the bellcrank issue.
But don't think folks are not responsive on this thread, you just asked a question that few can address.
