Granpaw:
Converting a trike model with tail feathers similar to the LT-40 is not too much of a chore if you're building from a kit, where you can plan for the installation, but if its an ARF it can be a problem figuring out how to connect it all up. On a model with a rudder that comes down between split elevators it is easy to set it up for tail dragger steering by hooking the steering wire directly to the bottom of the rudder. With a model that has tail feathers like an LT-40 it can be tedious getting a tail wheel steering wire up through the fuselage so that it hooks to the rudder.
That is why converting a trike to a taildragger is such a good idea. You get to learn a tremendous amount without going through the tremendous job of building a kit. And you did not mention the repositioning of the main wheels in order to not nose-over. Lots to learn. It invites a lot of critical thinking. Highly recommended project for the novice who is starting to get bored with the trainer (don't just jump into 3D, learn more with your trainer)
