Well, here's how mine sits. Mostly level and maybe slightly nose low, probably level with the wings on. Notice the trailing arm nose gear unit. Steers perfect, no taxi, takeoff or landing issues. Less than half stick to rotate without smoke, something over half with smoke tanks full.

No, the mains don't lift with braking cause they're too busy kicking up a large dust cloud from the lakebed when I use the brakes. A 17 mile headwind is not a heavy wind and we do get tons of gusts and crosswinds. Besides, the wing doesn't know the wind is blowing. You still have to make good on the correct landing speed at touch down. And well, the TopCat is sort of a delta with with a stab and accounts for 850 of those other landings.

BTW, every Roo I've seen with a straight strut for the nose gear has trouble with steering.
