Default RE: which do you prefer tail dragger or a trike style

I have come to enjoy tail draggers. I started out flying lots of trikes; but over time I got tired of adjusting the nose wheels to get them to track straight. I began to modify planes and make them tail draggers as I found it more difficult to load trikes into the limited space in my car. It was harderto place low winged trike geared planes in the car as they always seemed not to fit in my car without having to use pillows or other supports to avoidstressing the nose gear or elevator. Taildraggers just sit better in my car and are more stable during transport.
