    Default Rear Tail Stand Height Help

    I'm going to weigh my plan tomorrow since I converted it from a trike to a taildragger. About how high of a tail stand will I need? My plane is 30 minutes away and I'm trying to show up with everything I need without having to take a second trip somewhere. The mains are 21" tall tires.
    Thanks and Happy New Years to all!!!!!

    Depends on what gear and what tires and what tailwheel up have. I used two saw horses the cheap ones that you build out of 2x4. Then I hooked two 2x4 from the tops to support a bathroom scale. You can just take all the stuff you need and cut them down to the height you need.

    Don't forget to allow for the scales under the mains.
