Setting up pull-pull on the rudder. What is the best option for control of the tailwheel? My setup is such that a link cannot be made between the wheel and rudder horns as I have seen that done. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have a look at the chief international tailwheel. It has a light carbon fibre plate, and a rod runs along the bottom of the rudder. Just put a ball link or eye into the bottom of the rudder, and run the rod from the tailwheel assembly through it.
I've never been able to set springs right on a plane, and this system works well.

something else that you can do is to set up on the same servo another set of pull pull cables. have two sets of pull pull cables insted of one.

the best way I find is that I use a 4-40 bolt and lock nut to attach my pull-pull cables to the rudder form the rudder servo. I use a 4-40 bolt that is long enough so that I can use two dubro aileron horns on the end of the 4-40 bolt ( they are the kind that are on the end of your aileron arms on the inside of the wing on your typical trainer, creates a pull-pull for the ailerons on the inside of the fuse). They screw onto the 4-40 bolt at the bottom and have a place where you can put a pull-pull wire through them. I then attach a second pull-pull set-up from the aileron linkage to the tailwheel. works great.
