Default Converting from tricycle to tail dragger

what that means to me is you run a line down and 15 degrees forward of the cg, and put your lg axle on that line. But that assumes you have an engineer who has figured the cg location in three dimensions, which is cutting a bit too fine for rc aeromodeling. Axle below le is a pretty good rule, and cg 25-30% back from wing le comes out to about the same thing.
