The Tiporare was designed in such a way that it was never conceived to ride as a tail dragger. The nose of the fuse (glass or wood) is designed to accommodate the gear, whether FW or belly mounted, nicely and retract fully into the fuse without cutting into the wing as in a Phoenix for example. Further, it is also designed in such a way that by placing the fuel tank floor just above the gear, your tank ends up positioned at the right height.
The tank floor can be installed and reinforced in order to allow the installation of belly mounted gear from underneath for those who have difficulty accessing bolts from within the wing cavity. Of course this may necessitate a larger opening under the nose to insert the retract unit unless you drop the gear in from the wing cavity.
Finally, the Tipo has a stab with 4-3/8" of anhedral. Put a tail wheel under the rudder and you might want to consider putting wing tip skids under your stab tips as well 
i didnt think of that issue, thanks for pointing that out, im glad my Tipo is still a virgin
looks like im gonna trike this one with retracts.......
one major issue besides the tamk and mounting the retracts is the steering, when the nose gear is retracted how is this going to affect the steering cable, and where im i gonna mount all of the servos one for steering and one to retract the nose gear? all this is new to me ive never done this before..... only on a GP Patriot Arf and all the servo mounts were pre made
