Default RE: Sterling Tiger Moth build

I have been moving right along with this Moth. The upper wing is covered. The rudder and elevator are covered and hinged and I am installing the control horns. I am waiting on an order which includes DuBro mini pushrods for the tail, and need them in hand before I can finalize their locations. I have epoxied the completed but not yet covered lower wings onto the completed but not covered fuse. I did my best at getting them aligned and the incidences close. There is a brushless outrunner screwed onto the firewall, and the plastic cowl has been cut, fitted and glued together. I designed it to be removable for motor access. Once I have the pushrods and tail feathers in place, it will be time to fit the upper wing and locate the battery, speed control and receiver for balance. After I have those decisions and installations in place, I will cover the fuse and lower wing and glue on the upper wing. Add wheels and prop and then we'll see. I'll get a few pictures in here soon. Meanwhile, any suggestions for a tiny steerable tailwheel? I have a few ideas myself, but anyone with a really simple idea I would love to hear from.
