Still interested in converting from Midget Mustang taildragger to
tricycle geared even though most previous comments were against it. My
belief is
that weight and balance considerations along with location of wheels
is manageable.

Nosegear I'm currently considering a Diehl rod-type connected to
firewall and braced to the engine mount; KIS spring/tube gear mounted on
firewall. So far I've only seen these on fiberglass planes unlike
the aluminum skinned Midget.

I'm curious about how the nose gear would fasten to a metal plane
firewall such as the M2.

Anyone's help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Dick
