I converted my Senior to a tail dragger. It is actually pretty easy. Not cheap though. Reinforced the inside and outside where I mounted a TNT main gear. Then I added a servo to control the tail wheel - Hitec 81. Electronically linked the tail wheel servo to the rudder servo. It all worked great. Have an OS 70 FS for power. Want a nice Sunday flier. bob

I did the tailwheel conversion to mine as well. Mounted an HS-55 servo in the fuse running off a Y-harness on the rudder and ran a pull-pull set up thrugh the fuse to the tailwheel. Added Springs to dampen the shock on the servo. Has been bullet-proof for over a year so far and the whole mod took about 1.5 hours.
