Default Noob help with conversion.....

Hi all,
I am new to this great hobby and got my wings about a month ago. I'm flying a Nexstar and just took the leading edge thingys off (ARF is disabled and the Speed flaps aren't installed). I plan on getting real comfortable with my trainer before moving on.

What I would like to know is how to convert it to a taildragger. I've seen many pics so I know it can be done. I'm not affraid of cutting, adding, reparing etc. (I've already had to repair the leading edge on the wing)
I just don't know what I need to add to the new location of the gear to make sure it's solid enough, how the gear is attached etc..... I was told that the axle of the gear should be in line with the leading edge of the wing.

Can anyone let me know how they did their Nextar taildragger conversion? Also Any TIPS or (I know its asking for alot but.... ) any pics showing the progress of the work would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance for any help
