After taxi tests and some early flights I changed my tailwheel setup to a stronger, simpler method. I found the original plans built skid with added tailwheel twisted a lot around the roll axis. I replaced it with a piece of spring steel (from a tralier spring) and bolted it directly to the fuse using the existing mount point.
