Default RE: change from trike to tail.

i don't think there is a rule of thumb but anything close to the leading edge of the wing to just forward the leading edge is fine. This ensures that its far forward enough without being too much weight for your tailwheel. If you are just starting out, you might put it so that the entire gear is just forward the leading edge. This will allow you a little more authority when taxiing.

good luck!!! i love flying taildraggers...
