Default RE: Converting to taildragger?

You can expect to re-trim nose down slightly on your first flight after conversion. The nosewheel drag not only slows the ac down, it introduces a small down-pitch moment that you will have trimmed out. Removing the offending nose wheel will require re-trimming to account for the missing down-pitch moment. You may also find that the model spins more easily & rapidly.
