Default Laser 3D Tail Wheel?

These Plans suck! How is the tail wheel mounted? Do I chop the Vertical rod down or does it get stuck in the rudder? HELP PLZ Pics Most helpfull! Thanks, Cool plane though!

Default Tail Wheel

Here's what I did...

I bent the wire flush with the bottom of the rudder and covered it with Ultracote to hold it in place. I've done many models this way.

Or, get one of those Sullivan tail wheels and save the problems. The spring on them absorbs any shock from ground handling before transmitting it to the servo. My personal opinion, of course.
