Default RE: Tri-cycle or Tail Dragger?

Two types of tail dragger gear configurations, one in which the gears are mounted in the wings, the other where the landing gear is mounted on the fuselage ( 4*s, Extras, etc., etc. ). For relatively rough grass fields it`s been my experience that fuselage mounted gears are MUCH more forgiving than wing mounted when it comes to noseovers. Where I fly, I`d rather occasionally re-align the nose gear on my Avistar than pop a gear on my PT-19.
