I am looking at a partially finished kit (8-A). Current builder says he was considering the switch to 8 when he decided to sell the project. He said in a recent email:
"I think we talked about converting it to a tail dragger. I stopped building on it because it's at a point where it would be MUCH easier to convert to tail dragger right now. If I attached the forward belly skin (next thing to do) then it's a lot more work to convert - but with it off (like it is now) the conversion is very easy."
I am an A&P with experience. How difficult is this? What will I have to buy to add to the purchase to accomplish this?
Maybe I am asking for a simple answer to a complex question. But basically is this easily done? Common change?
Thanks,
Sandy
