Not to change the subject but didn't you guys use the backing plates for the control horns? Looks like the pictures show you used the screws. In the case of the rudder, I tru-bolted the two control horns togeter with 440 threaded rods and locking nuts. I don't have to worry about control horn failure during flight. Also used Du-Bro 440 ball links all around, so no slop in the linkage.

Set up the tail wheel as per instructions, seems to work fine for me.
