Default CG Chipmonk tail wheel

I bought a 95% finished CG Super Chipmonk. It has a tail wheel that is not connected to a servo. Can someone tell or show me how this is to be connected? The way the rudder is I can't see how I can steer this on the ground. Thanks

does it look like it has a control arm on the tailwheel? if so it should have a (2)springs going back to the rudder control horn...1 on each side. if ya look at some tailwheel pictures from a site that sells em ya will see what i mean. -tinman-

PieGuy, mine had the arm up through the fuse and out the back to the rudder (I believe). It is currently in storage but I will get it out take a picture of it. Post a reply with your e-mai address and I will try to send a pic.

Default Thanks

Thank you all! It was mounted forward of the rudder before. I'll pick up some wire and follow the picture. This really helps. Thanks again,
Larry
