Only real problem I see with this mod is that the prototype was "Unarmed". Was watching this on History Channel yesterday.
Prototype was out and flying a full year before the actual fighters came out. The reason they went to a tri gear, was because the dam thing had a bear of a time getting off the ground. The pilot would have to touch the breaks to get the tail up or the thing wouldn't lift off the ground.
If you really want to do this mod, then a new FM is going to be needed. One without guns and factoring in the lift problem of the original.
