Glenn,

Since you have posted this in the beginner's forum I'm going to assume you are just learning to fly. To turn your trainer into a tail dragger will only make the prop manufacturer's happy. Learn first to safely takeoff and land with the nose gear. This will help you learn to use your rudder on takeoff gradually instead of making it mandatory. This is simply a matter of too many things for someone training to deal with IF THEY DON'T HAVE TOO!! This is the very same logic that applies to full scale planes... why do you think you need a "tail dragger" endorsement? Again, many more things to do in the cockpit on takeoff/landing/taxi....

but, if you really want to make APC/Zinger/Master Airscrew happy... relocate the gear back, screw on a tailwheel and have fun...
