I ordered the 1.75" foam wheels and wire for converting my Tiny Trainer to tricycle gear. I would appreciate hearing any advice and suggestions for this conversion.

Just kinda wondering why you would want to do that? The Tiny is a super flying little airplane and it is so simple. Adding a landing gear is going to do nothing but screw it up and make it not so simple. I would just enjoy it the way it is. If you really want a nose gear airplane the FT Tutor comes with a nose wheel option. I would do that. You don't see many models with nose wheels. Mostly just a pain in the A**.

Yeah, you are probably right. My Tiny is so beat up I figured the conversion would be its last hurrah. I am going to build a Simple Scout. I have already downloaded the plans and started cutting Readi Board. I agree a taildragger is the better wheeled option.
