Default RE: SIG LT-40 tail dragger conversion

get a one piece alluminum gear piece for you main landing gear. the stock rods will bend and not work well if your new to landings. mine let the prop hit the dirt all the time. im going for a one peice alluminum soon. you will need a nother push rod and connections and a steerable tail wheel assembly also. you can get them at towerhobbies.com or your local hobby shop. you will need to find a small peice of scrap wood and glue it in the tail section to back up the stock stuff. I put mine on the out side but if your building from a kit then you can install the peice while its easily in reach. id recomend cutting a little bit of the stock balsa sheeting so the tail sits lower. mine sits kinda high off the ground but I like it this way.
