Default RE: tail dragger conversion

Might be little to no weight change.

I just converted my Avistar from trike to conventional and actually lost weight. The change over consisted of removing the metal engine/nose wheel mount and installing a plastic/synthetic mount, removing the steering push rod and steering hardware. The main gear is Dubro and on the tail I used the Sullivan tail wheel bracket.

The plane is slightly more tail heavy with the set up but is still within range for the CG.
