I know that the Berube Taildragger conversion places the wheels in the same place and height as the mono. Is this the case with the Swiss Taildragger ?

I have a picture of G-BWON as a "conventional" dated 2003.

I just checked the AAIB site and the only prang it had was an undercarriage retract when landing (as a mono). It must be the only Europa to have ever had 2 undecarriage changes?
