Default is there a modification needed for the knife tail wheel assembly?

from the plans there looks to be a long wire hanging under the rudder for the tail wheel..
is that going to last or will I be reshaping it after each langing?
anyone have a suggestion here?
thanks
Bugs.

My first knife used just the tail skid with no wheel (flew off grass)and it lasted in the same shape to this day roughly 5 or 6 flying seasons with plenty of rough landings
unless they changed the wire from the eariler kits it should be fine

I used a Sullivan tail wheel bracket for my knife.

Works for me. I fly off grass and wanted a little better ground handling than my Magic which just had the wire.
