broad leaf killer perhaps...FERTILIZER on flying fields is for masochists[sm=angry_smile.gif]

[8D] any nose wheeled trainer can easily be converted to a tail dragger. some lite ply scrap and tri-stock on the floor in front of the wing...add some 1/4 20 T nuts and use plastic bolts. I like plastic gear as well. the LT 40 has a rudder set up that makes it just a little tricky, but not hard, to add a tail wheel. A piece of MUSIC wire (not soft wire [:@]don't ask me how I know) glassed to the bottom of the rudder and dropped through the fuse to a tail wheel assembly will work fine just mount the elevator horn slightly off center.
( the elev push rod goes down the middle inside of the fuse on LTs) close together is OK but don't let 'em touch.

he ground handling of an LT 40 set up this way is superb.. I would also recomend you NOT use soft foam wheels but use the Dubro low bounce wheels without tread for the weed situation. Perhaps a skid and no tale wheel if you think your weeds would grab the small tail wheel.
