I built my LC40 as a tail-dragger.
I bought a tail wheel assembly and installed it in the tail.
I located the landing gear so the front of the gear is under the leading edge of the wing. I mounted the aluminum landing gear to a piece of 1/4" ply with blind nuts on the back side. I then cut out an area of coroplast leaving the skin on the inside, and mounted the landing gear block in there. I mounted it in there with epoxy and it has held up over 2 years of flying.
