This is a fantanstic airplane and it deserves a tailwheel. This is perfect and easy to do. Use a spring from a writing pen and install the du-bro micro tailwheel. I dont like plastic wheels, so I put a small rubber wheel on the micro tailwheel. It needs a little weight in the tail anyway. I hope everyone else that has one likes it as much as I do! The E-flite 480 motor will hover about 1/2 power and pull straight out vertical as far as you want to go. A great combo.
