I used the brass tube (sharpened) as a drill bit to run a pushrod from the tail of the plane (through the rear formers) to the rudder servo.

I tried to take it out last weekend, but the (cross)winds were so bad it kept picking the tail up and flipping it. SO I never got it off the ground. I think I need to reduce the height of the tail wheel and possibly move the mains forward a bit. I may get to try again on Monday...

I'd also like to see how others have attached a tail wheel to this plane.
