I am converting a Hangar 9 Alpha 40 plane i have to a taildragger and had a question in this thread on post #8
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1768759 he removed a piece of the fuselage on the bottom and replaced it with a more solid piece of wood. If i just reinforced the fuselage from inside the plane on the floor and then mounted the new gear to the bottom of the plane wouldnt that be sufficient?
