Default Tail Dragger or Trike gear for beginners

Here is a shot of how the tailwheel was mounted.

I couldn't get a rod from the rudder to the wheel without messing up the horz stab. Since I had switched the rudder over to pull-pull, I simply added pull-pull to the tailwheel.

Remember I was wanting to use my rudder in flying. The pull-pull proved to be a good setup. All in all there were 4 cables going to my rudder servo.

If you use a rod on the rudder control, this might not work, the rod might interfere with the cables.

Notice I added a ply base for the wheel to mount to. This plane had tons of lighting holes so I had to add something. I covered it in epoxy. Wasn't concerned how it looked. And no one ever noticed it.

Don't worry about the servo, it's mounted wrong and I had to add it in the back because I added a larger engine in the plane.
