RE: Different wing types
With the forward tapered wing you will need to calculate the MAC and then balance at 25~30% of the MAC. It will likely mean even further forward than the manufacturer recommends. The wheel position will then have to be placed slightly forward of this. All tailwheel a/c are taxied with full up elevator, even the full size, come to think of it even the full size trike a/c are taxied with a bit of up held in. On takeoff full up is held with both types until the rudder starts to respond and only then eased forward as unstick speed approaches.
