Ok, I'm just thinking this over at this point. I have completed the tail cone (plans section 10) as a tri-gear and I'm thinking about changing my mind. Looking at the plans, from what I can tell, it looks do-able but I've got some questions.
First things first, the tie down bracket needs to be removed:
Then some 1/4 inch holes to drill in the HS brackets and the second bulkhead
And some modifications to the tail cone skin
And a different hole is used on the bottom of the VS mounting.

And a different hole is used on the bottom of the VS mounting.
This is where my questions start
- Any concerns with strength of the VS mounting since I've already final drilled the two holes? The middle hole pilot is there and I don't think it should be a problem as long as the holes are clean with no burs but does anyone disagree?
- is it possible to insert the the U-00018 Tailwheel Spring Bracket into the square hole on the F-1414 Aft Deck or would I have to remove close to 100 rivets to take off the aft bottom piece skin? Or is there another way?
- What else am I not thinking of?
