Converting an Eagle II to a tail dragger
Hey guys,
I've learned on an Goldberg Eagle II, moved into a 4* which is now 'back on the bench' due to a faulty switch. I've been thinking of converting my Eagle II to a taildragger while i work on the 4*. Any suggestions things I should consider, does the main gear need to be moved and if so how do i determine this. Thanks in advance

Yes, the main gear will have to be moved forward, just enough in front of the plane's CG so that it does not nose over but not so far in front of the CG that ground loops are a problem. At or slightly behind the wing's leading edge is a good starting point.
