I recently put a Twinstar together and I just couldn't see it as a trike so I went ahead and converted it to conventional gear. You have to be a little more careful on the takeoff run, I think the greater precession of the twin props is part but part of it is the fact that there is no prop wash helping the rudder so the plane has to be traveling a bit faster before the rudder becomes effective. Whatever the cause it's something that can be overcome pretty easily on most planes as long as you think ahead a little before you start down the runway.
