Hi,

This is Rich Ernst.

The Deception photo is my airplane. I tried the taildragger arrangement for a while. While it worked just fine, I like a tricycle arrangement for better takeoff and landing scores. Your choice. I built a new plywood mount for the CF gear from Bolly, and added a steerable tailgear with springs to the rudder control. It's a bit of work since the Deception rudder does not go all the way to the bottom of the fuselage, but can be done.

Good luck, it's a very good flying airplane. I've got two right now.
