Goldberg Falcon III convert to taildragger?
Gentlemen,
I am building a Goldberg Falcon III and would like to convert the airplane to be a taildragger. I would like to do this for the weight savings and cleaner setup without the nosewheel and nosewheel steering setup. Also, I would like to have the taildragger so that I can have some more experience with one. The trouble is that the plans indicate which tailwheel bracket to purchase (not that it REALLY matters), but they do not show how to change the main landing gear to accomodate for this. I imagine that I might be able to flip around the swept gear legs around so they sweep forward and be far enough in front of the CG for a stable setup, but that could look crappy and probably affect its stability. Do you think I should go ahead and fill in the original cut-outs and move the gear forward?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Chris
