I hope old age doesn't fail me. When I did mine I belive I just turned the mains around and ran them backwards. You need to get the axle even with the leading edge. I think I used a Sullivan tail wheel assembly. It may have been a Dubro I can't remember. I just anchored the upper part into the rudder and wrapped it with a bit of fiberglass and thin CA. It flew fantastic. Ground handling was better than the trike. Well worth the mods. I also put a small piece of 1/8" lite ply under the tail wheel assembly for more wood for the screws to bite into. That's about it. I may have bent the gear some but it worked just fine. Good luck, Oh yea reinforce the gear blocks. I got the plane second hand. I managed to tear one of the blocks out on a grass field landing. I will make a 1/8" plywood half rib and glue 2 on each block. Great flying plane. You will love it.
