    Tail wheel to trigear gear.
    Hi all,
    After a not so nice landing this past week, I have decided to convert to trigear as I repair the damaged parts.
    N844RS flys beautiful and takeoffs are o.k. The landings are crap. I have been told the main gear swapped left to right side will work. I need the weldment and nose gear setup. Any advice or help will be appreciated.

    I had a long talk with him on Saturday. He is building a leaf blower now. I told him taxing the fat bastard on his lawn would do the same thing.
