Want a quick and easy tail wheel setup for your LT-40 ARF requiring no surgery on the fuselage? Add a free swiveling tailwheel setup. Epoxy a plywood mounting pad for a tail wheel mount on the fuselage below the tail and screw the bracket onto it. The steering wire hole in the mount should be directly under the rudder hinge line, or as close as you can get it. Insert the steering wire into the bracket, drop a wheel collar down over the wire and tighten the screw. Cut the wire off just above the wheel collar. Add a wheel and a retainer, and you're done! As steering comes from the Rudder stick anyway, you will steer via air blasting over the rudder. The rudder deflects, the wheel swivels, and the tail swings around. Its not as quick and precise as a direct connection to the wheel, but it's smoother than a skid. Looks nicer too. I have two panes with them in use and they work great.
