Does anyone here have experience in taking a conventional gear kit plane or plans built plane that was designed for conventional gear and converting it to tricycle gear? I'm looking for any advice/warnings/do's and dont's, weight and balance issues etc. in the process so I know what I'd be up against in doing so. To clarify, I really like the Fisher Dakota Hawk, but its a Taildragger and I prefer tri gear, so I'd like to transform it into a mini "Tri Pacer" if you will. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
