7SS Tricycle to Tail Dragger Conversion?

[Utah-Jay]

How tough is it to convert a trike to a dragger? Worth the trouble as a I am in Utah and looking to land in remote areas for fishing.

Thanks in advance

Andrew (Andy) Toth did his a couple of years ago. Message him and find out the details. I know he loves it so much he'd never change it back.

Search 'nose gear conversion' there are several threads about this. Seems to be a relatively common question.
From my recollection.. a model 7 is quite an easy swap. Move the grove to the forward mounting points and bolt on the tail wheel.
I think it's the 5 vixen and previous that it was a challenging proposal.

Desertfox4 and I converted mine in about half a day. Attach the tailwheel, move the main gear, remove the nose gear and rerun the brake lines.
Model 6 and 7 have both sets of main gear mounts. The model 5 is a cut and weld project.

You know tricycles can land in remote, areas too, right? Did you ever do this conversion?

It's quite easy; I have never done it, but a friend of mine did. Well worth it in my opinion.
