After fighting with the nose gear, and getting aggrivated with it, my LT-40 is now a taildragger! It took about 5 hours to convert it over. Used 1/4" ply and blind nuts with nylon bolts for the main gear, and 1/4 ply and 8 x 32 blind nuts for the tail end (I think thats what he used, I had help).
Ask any questions if you have any, had a blast doing the conversion.
below is a pic of it, and if you want to see more, just visit my site, just made a quicky page for more pics at
