Bo, 2 things about tail draggers that I didn't see mentioned. First when you convert a plane from a trike to a tail dragger make sure you have good anchor plate for the front gear. I use a plate made from1/4" ply and triangular stock epoxied to the plate and the fuse sides. Use 1/4" nylon bolts to secure the gear, they will break off in hard landing with damaging the fuse. Second the angle of the wings when the tail is on the ground is close to stall angle, let the tail rise as your taxi speed increases before you take off. If you don't the plane will jump in the air and without enough air speed it will tip stall and crash. Good luck.
