Rusty,. .. .Can't remember if I've told you this already. But go and buy a copy of "The Compleat Taildragger Pilot" by the late Harvey S Plourde, ISBN 0-9639137-0-0, published privately by his family. It's definitely available from Transair, and probably from most other pilot shops. Read it before you start, and you'll have a much better understanding of what's going on - not to mention that it will take you less time (and money!) to do the conversion!. .. .FFF. .---------
