I hate nose-gear! They are a total pain in the neck and need constant adjustment and for the beginning pilot often need to be replaced entirely (along with the firewall that gets ripped out with it on a hard landing).

After day after day at the field fixing bent/broken/misaligned nose gear on my trainer I finally just ripped the thing out and did a quicky conversion to a tail dragger. Took less that an hour of work. My problems were over.

At this point you'd have to pay me serious money to ever fly a plane with nose-gear again. I've found the ground handling with my three tail-draggers (Trainer to TD conversion, Lucky Stik to TD converson. and Seagull Spacewalker II) to be just as easy to handle on the ground at that pesky nose-gear trainer. And I don't break any more props that I did with the nose-gear. Recently I even replaced the tail wheel on the Lucky Stik with a simple metal skid (like the WWI planes I prefer) and even there had no real problems -- you just have to blip the throttle and make slow, wider turns. You shouldn't be driving your model around the field anyway.

So absolutely give up the "training wheel" and get yourself a taildragger!!!
