Re: convert Tricycle landing gear to taildragger not quite what I was asking Russ, I meant to actually display them on here do I use img tags? |

Re: convert Tricycle landing gear to taildragger I would think JPEG or JPG would be your safest bets. Not sure about max size but most forums 800 px on the long will get you there. Should tell you everything you need to know when you use the upload wizard. |

Re: convert Tricycle landing gear to taildragger If you're flying off grass, you probably won't need to worry about having a steerable tail wheel. Well, unless you've commadeered the golf course's grass greens |

Re: convert Tricycle landing gear to taildragger Here are some shots of my LT-40 Note the rod going up to the rubber for steering Aluminum gear is bolted just under the leading edge and reinforced on the inside. Simple conversion ................. |

Re: convert Tricycle landing gear to taildragger I would! I used mostly DuBro products on mine, though the tail gear was a different make that I can't remember. I used some flexible pushrod and put it out of the fuselage underneath, crossing from port to starboard... I think I need to make some triangle pieces to epoxy in for strength at the gear spots... CA glue I figured should be enough at the pushrod exit though |

Re: convert Tricycle landing gear to taildragger I have a brand new NexStar 60. Hmmmm maybe I should convert it before I fly it. I've already discovered that it's easy to wreck a prop without flying! RRRRRR! |

Re: convert Tricycle landing gear to taildragger Converted my NexSTAR the 1st year I had it 5 years ago, handled way better on the grass than the trike. Didn't want to tip over in a crosswind either after the conversion! But alas.... she has since gone to a better place |

Re: convert Tricycle landing gear to taildragger Heck, he even runs the Seniorita off grass with his floats and he once told me that trike gear had something to do with dykes, but I haven't figured out what Holland has to do with it yet (inside joke sorry ) |
