Default conversion of trainer to taildragger?

I'm just finishing up converting my LT-40 Kadet over to a taildragger. Added DuBro main gear, and a Great Planes tailwheel. Trying to figure out how to get tailwheel steering is a pain on this plane, because the rudder is completely above the Elevator. I have elected to leave my tailwheel free castoring, instead of trying to rig a pull pull system, or something else. By looking at it, in order to do that, I would have to re mount the rudder servo in the center of the fuselage, instead of where it is now, on the left side in the stock tray. It seems to work well as a free castoring system anyway.
