Default RE: Converting trainer to a tail dragger?

This was the tail assembly type I meant.

For mains, I made mine out of music wire. I curled the end of a small metal bracket and soldered it to the wire to accept nylon bolts to mount it.

It worked out very well, as the music wire has just enough spring to it to protect the airframe from the jolt of a poor landing.
