I don't have any pictures but it is easy to do

Put a 1/4" ply doubler in the radio compartment floor just behind F2 to attach an aluminum main gear. Use 1/4-20 nylon screws tapped directly into the playwood

For the tail use a plywood doubler glued on the bottom of the fuselage to attach your tailwheel mount. connect the tail wheel to the rudder abd that's it.

Here's an old Dig LT40 converted
The TW wire conn. to the rudder
Overall picture

I would use this tail wheel bracket with the Easy Sport

I like this landing gear it gives you prop clearance for a four stroke

If you plan to contact RCReport, you had better make it snappy.

The web site is down and their last issue is going to be the March 09 one. Then its one more bites the dust.
