Bruce,

Sounds nice. Are you using pull pull for the rudder and tail wheel or just one with the other on a push rod? I was thinking using pushrods for the elevator and rudder and pull pull on the tailwheel.
woodys3b,

Push rods for both the rudder and elevator; separate pull-pull for the tail wheel. Details not worked out on the latter; no direct line of sight from servo to tiller arm. Thinking cable or flex wire/tube combo (generic or Sullivan Flex Gold-N-Rod) running rearward and downward and exiting adjacent to the lower longerons (each side) just past the 3rd cross-member from the tail. (balsa braces where appropriate). Might use springs in loop or have separate servos for tail wheel and rudder. That would also give me taxi control on the left stick (Mode II) and yaw control on the right while flying.
