the last of the pics ...

OK- you got me - Ilied. That's NOTa Sullivan TW. And Iused 3 bolts for the LGrather than 4. That was my original RCplane. Soloed in 9 flights with tri-cycle gear. Before the 10th flight it got converted to a tail dragger. Note the lead!!!! There was an OS 46 LAon the front of that thing. Later replaced with an OS 61 FX. Wings failed during flight 15 at 100' - made for a not-so-kool white-n-red lawn dart.

Planning a conversion of an LT-40 tricycle to a tail dragger soon.

You'll notice in the side pics that include the tail, the rudder is totally above the fuse top and elevator.

Also, Ibuilt a Kadet Senior (kit)that uses a Hitec HS-81 servo mounted just in front of the tail wheel. Fairly simple but adds a bunch of weight at the back end. There is a hidden benefit of the servo approach, IFyou are thinking of floats, makes for a sweet-n-simple float rudder control servo.
