Cheetah tail dragger conversion

[Jimmy]

looking at getting a second hand cheetah but it has a nose wheel configuration, has anyone done a tail dragger conversion?

You would be able to simply get the parts form the factory. It will simply be different lenght legs if I look at the taildraggers I have seen and then of course the tailwheel assembly. Speak to Vladimir at the factory in springs.
Look here and you'll see the difference between the legs. http://www.aerotrike.co.za/cheetah/Pict ... llery.html

Send them a mail - they do answer quickly. sales@aerotrike.co.za

The position of the gear is slightly different and there is a strut that you need to fit inside the cabin to the gear attachement point.

Not being sarcastic at all when I ask

"Why would you want to change to a tail dragger?"

I fly the tricycle version and love it.

Would be interested to find out the benefits of converting.
