Can you post the contact points section of the plane in question?
Edit: the attached PDF was published by Jerry "Sparks" Beckwith a while back and contains invaluable info for coding gear points.

The Tailwheel is the first line in the contact points... the convention for longitudinal displacement is negative sign is aft of the model's center and for verticle displacement, increasingly negative extends the point further below the centerline of the model.

I have several models where the tailwheel is the third contact point. It really doesn't matter where it is in the list - it still works as long as it's coded right.
