Default RE: Newbee Floater needs help

I built a Taildragger Kadet Sr for my son. 
I stuck a bent 1/16" wire into the rudder, and ran it straight down thru the fuse.  Where it exited, I fabbed a steering yoke from a small wheel collar and brass sheet.  I connected to the tailwheel with springs.  For floats, I attach fishing line to this yoke, go forward to a strut where I have 2-56 eyebolts as guides (like on a fishing pole) , down to the float thru another eyebolt, and back to the WR.  Almost like a scale installation.
