C172 Tailwheel conversion - Backcountry Pilot
WEBDec 16, 2009 — Re: C172 Tailwheel conversion. From Hotrod150. The kits for the C150 & 152 ($695) have VG's on the wings & vertical, but not on the horizontal. The 170 kits have VG's on the wings & the bottom of the horizontal, but not on the vertical. Interestingly the kit price for the 170A&B is $1450, just like the 172/175 kits, but the price for the ...
C172 Tail Dragger - Backcountry Pilot
WEBJun 10, 2012 — Also you will never convert a C-172 for the price of a C-170. Even if you have to get the engine topped. OR just purchace one converted out of barnstormers. I also know a gentleman in southern Idaho who wants to sell his 1957 C-172 with a Bolen (I believe) STC & a aux fuel tank for the mid $20K range.
172 taildragger? - Backcountry Pilot
WEBAug 30, 2013 — Re: 172 taildragger? When you talk 56 172 vs 56 170 performance is virtually identical. Maybe a different elevator feel but very small amount. Most 172 conversions have an inadequate tail wheel structure. Some have main boxes identical to the 170. Others have a really gehtto custom main gear box with very wide custom main gear.
Opinions of swept tail 150 tailwheel conversions
WEBMay 16, 2016 — As for rudder, there is very little difference in the surface area from the swept tail to the straight tail 150s. They both have about the same directional stability. And yes, the swept tail does not look very good if you use the old squaty 150 gear legs. The 140 style legs on the other hand change the look of the whole plane.

WEBMay 29, 2017 — Re: C172 Del Aire tail wheel conversion. Logpile wrote: The Del Aire 150T/W STC included a gross weight increase that none of the other did. Its the coveted STC for 150s. From 1600 to 1760lbs. I don't believe that's quite correct. I had the all three "Texas Taildragger" STC's on my old C150/150TD-.
Cessna 182 tail wheel conversion. Opinions - Backcountry Pilot
WEBSep 11, 2015 — Re: Cessna 182 tail wheel conversion. Opinions. One of the big issues, as I understand it, is that it is getting hard to find a low time Skywagon that has not been wrecked, rebuilt, beat half to death, etc. If you build a 182 taildragger conversion, you might wind up with a lower time or less banged up airframe.
Texas Taildragger C172 - Backcountry Pilot
WEBJun 19, 2006 — Looks like a very well run forum. I hope someone out there can provide me with information on the Texas Taildragger conversion for a C172. A local pilot recently purchased a 1972 C172 converted to a taildragger. It has a 180 HP Lycoming and a three blade prop. He hired me to fly it back to his home airport and to give him instruction in it.
