I have thought about doing this to a plane I have, but I have one question. What would happen if I just put a skid on the rear of the plane? Would it still be steerable if I just power up the engine and use rudder to bring the tail around? Or would I be better off to put in a steerable tail wheel? BTW, this is on a 60 size Stik. I have been having problems with the front gear and staying straight. It wants to bend sometimes when taxiing and sometimes when landing. When landing, it makes the plane nose over and bend the gear. I have tried to bend a couple of them back, but went and bought a couple of new front gears at my hobby shop to replace them. It seems like this would be a fix for this problem, take the front gear out of the system entirely. And it will give me some good tail dragger practice to get me ready for my 4* that I have on the build table.
