The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

This is what happens when it rains, so decided to see if I could make I nice small and light tail wheel. This is what I have, but I still do not know how I am going to connect the the tail wheel to the rudder.
Any suggestions on how to make the connection. The rudder at the hinge point is just a little over 1/8 thick.

I would turn the arm 90 degree and make it parallel to the rudder horn and link it to the horn.

Ok another bad day of weather so decided to see I’m i can make up some landing gear for the speed 40 size plane and this is what I can up with. Only 0.062 thick aluminium and it 6061-T6. Hopefully it is stiff enough for the application. If not I can always add another leaf as required.
I should not be posting in this thread at this time of the year I need to flying and posting about all the flying I am doing.
