Default RE: Lt-40 as taildragger

I wrecked my wonderful LT40 yesterday, strong headwind that changed to a quick strong crosswind, flipped the plane during landing while 10' off the deck, snapped the fuse in several pieces.  Its a converted TG during the build, and have a really nice tail wheel setup that tracks great in grass. I used a pushrod that is tied to the rudder servo one hole in from the rudder clevis using a spring setup to cushion the servo from rough ground, the pushrod exits underneath the fuse in a slot just above the tail gear.   I'll get some pics when I tear the fuse apart to rebuild it.
