Hey Somegeek. how is your build going? i am thinking of converting my LT40 to a taildragger since a surprise landing in a tree last week removed my mains for me.
Yeeouch - tell your LT-40 I hope it feels better soon. FWIW there are a grip of LT-40 taildragger conversion threads on RCU. From what I gather, the easiest and cleanest conversion is to put a rod up through the fuse into the base of the rudder and use that to drive a tail wheel. If you ever decide to recover your plane, you could consider installing a pushrod to steer the wheel.

Regarding my build, It went well!

My build thread is here.

I need to go back and update the thread with build materials and such.
