Default RE: Tri-cycle or Tail Dragger?

Re: "If your field is a bit rough, id use nose wheel." < have to disagree here. I prefer tail draggers on our grass field which looks great but ends up with varmit holes over night which makes the field rather rough even after they have been filled in. Nose gear can keep getting wrenched out of position. My tail draggers have never had a problem.
Very true, as long as you've got big enough wheels. I remember having one of my planes (tail dragger) get stuck and nose over last year. When I went out to get it I discovered the cause, a pile of deer poop! [X(]
