I talked to someone this weekend about this subject and he actually saw one. It seems there was one in Louisiana that had been converted to a tailwheel and from what I understand it actually worked pretty well. I would think it would have to be registered in the experimental category. I still have to wonder about the effectiveness of the rudders. I just don't see where enough airflow could be generated to allow it to land safely in a crosswind.

The only way I know of this having been done was one which had a tail off an old round-tail Cessna grafted onto it. I believe it was an airshow plane which was very experimental. This was just a few years back. The whole thing was so idiotic that I almost think I dreamed reading about reading that article but I didn't. You would not have proper handling with the Ercoupe twin tail. I have rudder pedals in mine and the rudders are nowhere near as effective as you would probably want.
