Default RE: Bolt on axle

Yes, like John said, you can move the landing gear forward a bit  to stop noseovers.  If you go too far it will have worse ground handling but protect the prop.  Some older (very old) planes had the wheels ahead of the prop to protect it.  Around the leading edge of the wing is pretty much normal now.  Also longer gear can cause noseovers.
