Good advice from the others so far so not a lot to add other than height probably would be an issue. I suspect that you might be able to get round this with some design 'improvements' if you are keen on modifying original designs. My first taildragger was a 2 seat (the D11 series) Jodel and arounf three years ago I was able to buy into one again. Great of short strips. Splendid load carrier, benign, just a good and cheap machine. If you can deal with the height issue go for it.
