Default RE: Goldberg Tiger 2 taildragger conversion

Hello everyone. I know this is an older thread but its exactly what I'm looking for.

I was dismantling my workbench up at my parent's house that I used in my teens. Below the table I found a new in the box Goldberg Tiger 2 kit in perfect condition. I don't have any recollection of purchasing this kit. I believe that it came from a lot that I bought from friends who got out of the hobby. Apparently I just forgot about the kit.

The Tiger 2 kit is an older kit with die cut parts.....not laser cut.

My first thought was to sell it as I don't need another kit or plane. But, after looking at the kit I am interested in building it. However, I'd like to convert it to taildragger. Is this the best thread on this subject? Also, some posts refer to a "conversion kit" and details described "in the manual". My manual mentions nothing about converting it to taildragger. Is this included with the newer laser cut kit? What is the "conversion kit" that has been mentioned? I'm not too interested in tailwheel assemblies as I have my own way of rigging a tailwheel. I do have main landing gear that I'm planning on using. What else would be included in the "conversion kit"? Are there additional details on beefing up the fuse for the landing gear?

Anything else I need to know?

Thanks,
Brian

ADD: Sorry, after posting I realized that this is the ARF forum. Mine is the kit version. Sorry for not noticing. [:@]
