David,

My rudder will be as per plan. I understand the "torque rod" approach, but what I think I want to do is extend the torque rod all the way through and have it also serve as the tail wheel strut. Hence my idea to use a nose gear steering arm at the appropriate location below the stab. Anything come to mind that would make this a problem (except for the complexity of bending this thing accurately)? Maybe if I could find an axle for a 1/8th inch rod.....
