Looks like FokkerAce will be the man to help me with getting my Deception completed.

I was thinking of eliminating the nose gear and converting it to a taildragger. I wish to use the wire mains in the kit, but how far forward should the gear be moved to make it a safe (not too easy to nose over) taildragger?

If I could see a couple pictures showing the location of your taildragger's wing mounted main landing gear position I would appreciate it. I know it has to be well in front of the CG.

Thanks for the help.

By the way, I decided to make this an SPA bird with an OS 91 Surpass II and fixed gear. I'll be moving to the Florida panhandle in 5 months and look forward to flying BPA (Troublemaker w/ Rossi .60 on a pipe and Tiger Tail 3 w/Rossi .67 on a pipe... both with retracts) and SPA (Deception w/ OS 91 4-Stroker).

Again, if anyone could post or PM me a picture or two showing the wing mounted wire landing gear for a taildragger vintage pattern plane I would appreciate it!

Thanks,
Dave
