Mike Campbell made the switch with "Dre= amcatcher", a 320. It was written up in the old LML newsletter. = The 360 MKII tail was later adopted by the Legacy, so avail= ablilty shouldn't be a problem.

I've flown a lot in both big and s= mall tails and hardly notice a difference anymore, but I do prefer the= large tail. One practical consideration I've seen with students in t= he small tail is the need for a little more precise airspeed control on fin= al. If one is 10 kts fast in the large tail it seems less sensitive i= n the flare than the same error in the small tail. This should not ma= tter however, I'm only suggesting flying a precise 1.3 Vso on final. = When airspeed is properly scanned the small tail flares and lands nicely.&n= bsp; I've seen a lot of PIO while waiting for the airspeed to arrive at 1.3= Vso or less in the flare. It's highly self critiquing and highly ente= rtaining for the instructor.

Retrofit? Hmmm. I've not = known of a single small tail driver who actually did it after flying. = I'd guess it would not be too much pain to do for an experienced builder.&= nbsp; Does Lancair still stock/ sell retrofit tails? If they sell the= carbon MK II tail in a fast build version I expect it could be done in les= s than a month but it would be a huge undertaking for a novice builder (imh= o).
