Default LT-40 taildragger conversion problem?

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.

If you're only running the rod thru one bulkhead, you could just put a nice blob of epoxy in the approximate spot on the rod and shove 'er on thru.
