Nick,
Lots of talk about a tailwheel version of the Lightning. Not in any rush,
but just wanted to add my input. Seems like it might be possible to put the
gear in a position that would be ahead of the wings, much like the Harmon
Rocket. I haven't run the numbers, but I think that'd keep the CG about the
right distance from the mains. It also looks hella good. Depending on how
far forward you got them builders might have the option of a different
engine choice. (read slightly more powerful engine) Of course you'd
probably have to minimize the distance of the firewall mount to the engine
as well for in flight CG stuff. You've probably already thought of this,
but just wanted to throw that out there. Brian W.
