tail dragger conversion
 

[sm=bananahead.gif][sm=omg_smile.gif]Im currently converting a H9 Alpha Trainer. My ? is ,,,the engine is one of those Evolution trainers,,,do you think that motor has enough power to get the extra weight off the ground. It has a three blade prop,,,would a 2-blader give more power?
Thanx Guys-TAZZZZ

-What extra weight ?
-yes, a 2 blade prop will give you more power.

Extra weight with the tailwheel and alum. fixed gear.

If the engine had enough power before the conversion, it will still have enough power.
You just need to re-balance your plane.

Might be little to no weight change.

I just converted my Avistar from trike to conventional and actually lost weight. The change over consisted of removing the metal engine/nose wheel mount and installing a plastic/synthetic mount, removing the steering push rod and steering hardware. The main gear is Dubro and on the tail I used the Sullivan tail wheel bracket.

The plane is slightly more tail heavy with the set up but is still within range for the CG.
