I like both but I have been flying for a few (since 1992) years. Trike is much more forgiving to land. You can practically slam them on the deck and come in as hot as you want. Nose first, mains first doesn't matter it (engine)just might stall when you slam it nose first. That is why trainers are always a trike set-up. On grass or a rough strip I prefer a tail dragger as they seem to get up in the air a little quicker. The landings on touch down are what needs to be mastered. To a new pilot you most likely get the "tail Dragger bounce" on landing. It is just holding the elavator flair a little too long with a little too much airspeed on touchdown. Consequently, you get airborn again after touchdown. The bad part of that is that tail draggers will have a tendency to yaw to one side on the verge of a stall once the mains touch down and the speed is bleed off. This will turn into the nicked wing tip landing. I have seen the most experienced pilots have this issue. To say to a somewhat beginner that a tail dragger is just as easy as a trike is just not true. If you keep the wings level you can land a trike as fast, slow(without a stall) and as hard as you want practically and have it look like an OK landing. The envelope for a good tail dragger landing is much smaller. Bounce and yaw too much and you could ruin a wing.
