Default RE: make a trike into taildragger?

Hey Zor

Goin' well, I think. Just hope it is sturdy enough. I've included a couple pics. First is the plane, it's a Lucky Star 40 ARF that I won on eBay for $32. I know the covering needs some attention but actually the plane went together fairly well and you do get what you pay for. I've been out of the hobby for a few years and want to get back to it but don't have a lot of $ right now. You can see I epoxied a piece of mohagany to the bottom of fuse and drilled a small hole all the way through the fuse. I ran some wire up thru the hole, bent it and epoxied it into the rudder. Not sure of the wire diameter or any dimensions for that matter I just eye-balled everything. What do you think ?
