If I can see properly in the video it appears that at the forward end of the tail where the wire comes up that you have a bracket of some sort to hold the wire in place as it goes back to where you make the 90° bend up into the tail.
I don't see anything quite like what I think I see.
Hello, Like the many viewers here that found you video very helpful; I Just wanted to say thanks for posting this. I followed you instructions and parts list and my ultra too has a rear steerable wheel. Excellent!! Very helpful and like to give credit where credit is due!!! Thanks again for your time in posting this.....
I just tried this same setup on my plane and it works great! Thanks for the tip. I also found that Du-Bro's 3" micro sport wheels are a perfect upgrade for the main gear. They make it easy to takeoff and land in short grass. If anyone is interested the part# is 300ms.
Just picked up a Mini Ultra Stick PNP at a great price, had to jump on it before the PNP is gone forever. Saw this video and immediately ordered all the parts to spec...thanks for making the "what parts do I need" element easy.
@Guinnie Thank you! A year and a half later and mine is still going strong. No breaks or repairs needed and I fly off of a grass field and paved field. Happy flying!
smithba76, THANK YOU for this video. I have used it to successfully installed the same steerable tail wheel on my Tower Hobbies Mustang, which now tracks great and can take a beating thanks to your video.
@smithba76 , I am getting a Mini Ultra Stick soon, and I wonder if I should go ahead and make the landing gear mod right away or wait until it's needed. What do you think?

Can anyone help this newbie ID this part?

@w7wv73 It's just hot glue to hold the wire against the rudder. The wire bends up into the bottom of the rudder as well. Gravity does the rest.

That depends on how good you were with your other planes. This plane is a lot of fun but due to the small size it can be a little twitchy.

I would go ahead and install it before the first flight. It's just worth it and easier to do before the tail gets banged up
