Default RE: Kadet LT 40 taildragger question

funny i'm just getting ready to rig my son's new LT 40, also a tail dragger set up. here is how i did the tail wheel.
ignore the plans as far as exits for the pushrod tubes. exit both rudder and elevator push rods out the sides of the fuse under the horizontal stab. drill a hole down through the fuse just under and aligned with the rudder (at hinge line). bend a 1 1/2 " 90 degree bend to wrap with fine fiberglass and ca it to the bottom of the rudder. your tail wheel asembly will mount on the bottom directly below the rudder as is typical of most tail wheels. this will also allow you to seal the end of the fuse with your covering and decrease oil absorbtion there. make a small grove in the underside of the rudder to glue the wire to and it'll be nearly invisable.
