Yeah I figured as much... I just wanted to get working on doing my tail gear mod so I can just be done and ready for covering... I dunno I'll figure it out. Think I will just put on the stabilizer and leave it at that til i get it covered. and then just temperaraliy do the modification for the tail gear. Im gonna put a rod into the rudder and will need to sand it out and fitted... kind of like shown here.

For what ever its worth I would not mount the stabilizer before covering especially that stab that has almost nothing to adhere to next to fuselage, not impossible but definately not for a first timer in covering.
Now to avoid the rod through the fuselage thing which is the problem just forget the torsion type tailwheel steering as that is what most of those installation turn into (a springy torsion bar) and the longer the torsion bar the more difficult the steering becomes. What I prefer to do is a second pushrod to the tailwheel and connected to the opposite side of the servo or even the same side and done like my Moskito in the photo.
Here are some color sample of some of my Kaydets in the clear yellow/black, clear red/black and clear blue/black. The blue ship is what I train folks with and the second wing just finished up and had it out this morning. That wing is ten inch greater wingspan for a special mission.
