Why not just get the tricycle version of the kit?  (The RV-*A kits)
You sacrifice less than 2 knots in speed and have much better visibilty while 
taxying not to mention better ground handling too.

Thanks!

I'm modelling this on G-SEVN (See www.rvuk.flyer.co.uk).  The owner took
me up in it a while ago and I was blown away by the whole experience.

I might be ordering the first part of the kit later this year even
though my fiance tells me she will kill me if I do - and if I survive
that, I'd better learn to fly tailwheel pretty quick too!


All the best,

Matthew.
