I really like our long grass runways and they look great. Out come the gophers who add their small holes everywhere and takeoffs and landings can be interesting. If the front wheel of a trike gear hits a pot hole, the whole plane tips oon its nose. This usually also means a bent steering rod. On tail draggers provided that the plane has at least 3" wheels if a main wheel from a tail dragger hits a pot hole, the plane bounces on that side and keeps on going without damaging the landing gear. That why I prefer tail draggers over trike gear at our field.
