I know I'm going to take a little spanking from the purists out there, but has anyone built their cub with tricycle gear to give it more of a TriPacer look?
Seems like all you would have to do is move the main gear back to a little behind the main spar and add a nose wheel assembly to the fire wall but I'd like to get input from someone who has actually done it before I go it alone.
Paul,
Chances that someone has already done what you are planning and that will come in here and explain what they did are slim.
You can do it by yourself and have fun doing it.
You should end up with about 15 to 20% of the "ready to fly" weight on the nose wheel.
You will have to follow a specific procedure to achieve that.
If you need help on such a procedure , ask and we will help.
Enjoy,
Zor
