RE: Tailwheel conversion
You need to glue a 2 or 3" long piece of 1/8" lite ply matching the width of the rear section. A local hobby shop like Hobby Haven
should have a DuBro or Sullivan tail wheel kit for either 40 or 60 size. It comes with a plastic mounting base and wire to be bent to enter the hinge area of the rudder. Correct dia wheel will have to be bought separately.
