Most of my models are tail draggers, with fuselage mounted main gear. I don't find them difficult to land, or control on the ground.

They may be slightly more difficult for a novice, in that they require some "up elevator" to insure good ground contact for steering the tail wheel.

The "hard" part being to understand when to apply the elevator control. Too early, and the model could leap back into the air. Too late, and a ground loop may be the result.
