Gizmo I am thinking about a direct link to the tail wheel also. I think I will use the plastic push rods that came in the kit fot the rudder and tailwheel and use a pushrod for the elevator. I don't really like plastic control rods.

Did you use the main landing gear that was supplied? I am thinking about cutting a new gear that is a little wider and use 4 screws for attachment instead of the two 4-40s supplied in the kit. I was trying to stick to the plans but I have such a hard time not making changes I think need to be made. Its just a failing of mine. And of course the wings will bolt on.
