Are you sure they didn't give you the parts? I've built three of them things, and they all had the right part. You could just glue the tailwheel to the strut, it really dosen't need to turn, or just turn the tail wheel mount into a tail skid. Not like that plane is known for it's ground handling.....


Btw, I grew up north of you, Richmond IL. If you've ever gone to Lake Geneva you've probablly gone thru it...
