found several threads about how to convert my LT-40 into a taildragger.
Only problem I found is, with this being an ARF, 7 inches inside the tail end of the fuse, is a solid wall. The only thing going through this wall is the elevator nyrod.
Any suggestions on how I can get another nyrod through that wall being 7 inches away?
I could go find a long drillbit, but then how would I epoxy the tube in?
any suggestions?

I used a long drill bit, inserted the nyrod tube, then taped a small brush to a length of dowel rod to apply the epoxy. Just make sure you get a good bit of epoxy on the brush and you will be okay. The first time I did a conversion on the LT40, I just ran the rod out the side of the fuse. Didnt look as pretty, but it did the job very well.
