Hi! Ian.
Sounds like.... a) you found the way to retract the taildragger legs to get
the same drag as the Mono?
     .......... b) you are a realist about the sense of satisfaction of a
good mono landing!!!!

May as well have a say too - seems to me that a taildragger conversion
offers best of both worlds; no heavier and no more drag than a mono, but
enough of a 'real' aeroplane to give a sense of satisfaction out of a good
landing. Mind you, I get a sense of something out of a mono landing, but
it's more like relief!
