For my tail dragger conversion the tailwheel is controlled by the rudder

I made a new longer tail wheel wire for the tail wheel bracket that is longer on the top to extend up into the rudder hinge line where I drilled 1/16" hole in the rudder and with a 90 degree bend, inserted the tail wheel wire into the hole in the rudder with epoxy all around it.

I used a tube guide for the tail wheel-rudder wire that is in line with the rudder hinge center line. It is anchored at the top by the wood of the horizontal stabilizer and at the bottom by the extra piece of plywood that was epoxied onto the bottom of the fuselage.
