I finally got around to buying a longer dipstick to account for me
converting from tricycle to tailwheel. I leveled the plane and the oil
was halfway between full and empty. When I put it back down on the
tailwheel and installed the new dipstick, it bottomed before showing any
oil. Any ideas?

Gary,
It would seem that you need to put the exact amount of oil that would
read full in any case and re-size the dipstick length to capture the
full mark with the tail down.
If it's a Stratus EA81, that should be 4 quarts with the short filter.
