ORIGINAL: w8ye

Additional instructions for the tail wheel are that you need to run a tube, plastic, brass, or aluminum up through the fuselage for that tail wheel wire as it will rub against the elevator pushrod.

Also the bottom of the fuselage is not exactly perpendicular to the rudder hinge line. You need to taper your tailwheel brack mounting plate enough to make it true square with the rudder hinge line.
Inoticed the nicely finished tail wheel mounting plate. If this approach is taken during a new build Ithink that the elevator pushrod / control horn can be moved to either the left or right side to eliminate the chaffing.
