I was just getting started on the rear fuselage when a cold chill ran down
my spine, I realized that the blueprints I was folliowing were for the
tricycle version. A quick check revealed that I didn't receive the TD
blueprint page with the parts shipment.
Thankfully I have not progressed too far. (just now installing the bottom
skin l-angles.) How soon do I need to start considering the taildragger
specific changes? the photo guide is really not too clear on when to make
the changes.
I am also replacing all the A4's with A5's in the rear fuselage. Any other
suggestions?

Brad,
As I remember, the only change on the bottom rear fuselage assembly had to do with the lower rudder hinge plate. You don't drill the center hole for the rear tie down eye bolt. The more significant changes start when you begin work on the forward fuselage floor.
Take a look at my web site for some pictures.

There doesn't seem to be any photo guide for the taildragger version and there are 3 pages of modifications that I paid $40 for. Bob U.

My plans built fuselage I bought has the tie down ring already installed. i haven't started on the taildragger mods yet or studied the drawings. Wonder if I've got a lot to change. Bob U.

There are changes in the forward fuselage and the wing stubs for the tail dragger.

Bob,
Finally talked to ZAC and they faxed me the drawings. there are photo guide
pages for TD online. From what I can see from looking at the drawings
instead of working Monday, you will have to remove the tie down ring and
install the tail spring forward pickup on the front HT frame. is your rear
fuselage turtledeck already riveted in place?
