Default RE: LT-40 Taildragger balance

I recently converted my Lt-40 to tail-dragger, man what a diffence, installed a seperate servo for
steering tail wheel and ran small Sullivan cables to a springing tail wheel assembly. I would advise
that you align the center of the axle of the main gear with the leading edge of the wing, as I fly
from a grass strip and didn't want to nose over. If you do install the pull-pull cables as I did you will
have to cut a section out of the bottom of the fuselage balsa and re-glue it and re-cover it when done.
Will post pics of my conversion later today.

Balance point is same as tri-gear set up.
