yes I did strip the covering before gluing the wood to the fuse. The wheel seems solid sitting on the ground when I shake the plane a little. I'll let everyone know how the maiden goes as soon as I can fly it.

Concerning your tailwheel ___

Now that I have maginified the picture I can see the little fitting you have with a set screw against the plywood.

I just think it would have been preferable to have an aluminum flat washer against the plywood and a wheel collar instead of what you have. It would present a flat surfacee against the washer to carry the bumps of the runway or in the event of hard landings.
