Actually I've got you all beat. I built my own engine mount (for a rotary
engine) that has mount options for main gear and nose gear and have main
gear mounts in the fuselage and a tail wheel mount. I did this almost a year
before Van's came out with the tailwheel option. I'm secure enough in my
masculinity to put the little wheel any damn place I want it.
My reasons for doing this is that I believe the trike configuration to
be
better for short rough strips, but the taildragger is necessary for ski
operations due to a lack of differential braking.
First flights will be as a trike (in about a month). I'll try it as a TD
possibly this winter.
