I forgot to mention the one thing I did differently then most 
builders do.  I attached the tail wheel cable to the rudder cable 
inside the fuselage and they exit the fuselage through different fair 
leads.  I did this so the "pull angle" of the tail wheel cable is in 
line with the rudder cable and does not pull the rudder cable at an 
angle when rudder pressure is applied.  Most set ups have the cables 
connected outside the fuselage and, with the tail wheel on the ground 
and full rudder peddle deflection, you could be stressing your rudder 
stop if it is located at the rudder and not on the peddles 
themselves.  Any side loads on my tail wheel, when not running in 
line with the aircraft, are transferred in a straight line to my 
peddles and not pulling the rudder cable at an angle causing 
additional rudder deflection.  Clear as mud, right??
