Default Tail dragger setup

Sorry MHawker, wrong answer. The mains MUST be in front of the CG. Otherwise the silly thing will keep nosing over looking for the front wheel. The accepted generic position for taildraggers is to have the axles for the main wheels at or slightly ahead of the leading edge of the wing. It doesn't need to be exact. In most cases close is, well, close enough.
