I only converted it to a tail dragger. because my front gear on my trike was taking a beating and i was getting tired of bending it back into place. Theres lots of pictures on how to do it on RCU. It's not's that big of a change (at least it wasn't for me) I got the hang of it after one day of flying with no instruction expect for RCU. Knowing how to take off and land on a tail dragger would be helpful before going to the cub but it's not somthing absolutley nesscesary.

It's all up to you and how you feel.
