Wanted (maybe) Model IV Nose Gear

      I'm thinking of converting my Model IV to tri gear for various reasons, ie insurance
      costs, flight instruction, etc. A used set would be cheaper than a new set
      from Kitfox I'm sure, so I though I'd look around before I buy new.
      
      Thanks in advance

      Hi Dan and others,
      
      I am curious about this as well - primarily from the design standpoint. I 
      know of some others who have made the switch.  Is the conversion available 
      from the factory and if so, what is the approximate cost.  My understanding 
      is that it requires a new engine mount with the hard points for the nose 
      gear.
      
      The next question has to do with the main gear geometry.  Is the nose gear 
      strut designed to mate with the  bungee gear, Grove gear or is it adjustable 
      to accommodate either.  I know the two gear designs have different lengths 
      to the ground.
