Can someone please tell me why you would want to take a very good aircraft (RV-9) and turn it into a death trap by putting a nose wheel on it?
Because this is what the majority of the punters want. If a pilot does his training on a NW he will probably fly NW from then on. The tail dragger MCR has not even been UK approved as UK requirements were unique and the numbers likely to be sold were too small to make it worth the effort. The new rules will of course change this.
