Default Hangar 9 Easy Fly 40 trike to taildragger


I'm sick of the nose wheel...it's time to switch to a taildragger....

My question is about the tail wheel, how do I make it steerable? (I can't connect it to the rudder because of the elevator, so the rudder servo has to have a pushrod to the tailwheel) any pictures?

Why not use a pull pull system on the tail wheel?

Here's how I did mine
Have Fun!


If you look at the pictures I posted in this thread, it shows where the pushrod comes out, and other things to help. You mount the pushrod to the rudder servo, on the opposite side from the rudder. I didn't use a sleeve, I just put a Z bend on the end of the rod that attaches to the tailwheel, and an adjustable clevis on the threaded end of the rod at the servo end for adjustment. This plane has been flying for years like this now.
