RE: First Time Tail Dragger
Here is a modified Avistar. Cost nothing to switch over accept for a couple bucks in a tail wheel. Didn't stop with the tail dragger mod though, removed the dihedral in the wing, removed all non essentials including the cowl cheeks. Brought this 5 pounder down to 4 lbs. The front nose gear was the biggest weight offender. Now, with the same, lame, 46 LA swinging a 11/4 Zinger prop it will hover as well as perform many other maneuvers. Take off in about 15 feet and will slow to a crawl on landing. Joe
