Hello, all
I am presently assembling the outboard panels of my 601-HD, which I have always thought would have tricycle gear.
But, for some reason (food poisoning, alignment of planets, subliminal messages, global warming, God knows) I have been thinking about a tail dragger configuration.
I know this is a good topic to start a 3-week long thread, but the issue is too old for this.
All I'd like to know is what are the changes/pitfalls in the construction?
I know it gets some simplification by deleting the nose gear - but then you add a tail wheel.
If I recall well, the main gear is installed between nose ribs, so that's probably the only pieces that go to waste: 4 nose ribs.
My spar is already built, but I am guessing it requires no changes.
Anyway, I'll order the TD plans on Monday. Even if I decide against it, it's only $25.
And, btw, how many TD owners/builders subscribe to this list? Please respond to this particular question directly to me: carlossa51(at)gmail.com (carlossa51(at)gmail.com)
Cheers

Don't forget you will also have to move the main gear. At least you do on the XL
