Default RE: landing gear angle fore or aft?

The general rule is that you draw a vertical line through the cg and then draw a line going down at 15 degrees forward. If your wheels touch the ground on that line, you can grease landings on hardtop. Need to be a little more forward for grass. (Talking taildragger here, of course.)
