jwfoster4,

When you've got the tail skid replaced or relocated, put a small plastic bead on the tail rod. Just drill it the same diameter of the rod, about half way through and CA/glue the bead to the skid. Works great, it doesn't get stuck in carpeting, or grass and doesn't bend on concrete. It just slides across everything.. You could use a electrical wire nut too, if you don't have a plastic bead. I got the bead from a childs necklace.
