Default RE: First low wing / Tail dragger, which do I buy?

The Tigers are all good first low wings. And most come with the taildragger gear option.

But I'd fly it awhile as a tricycle gear to begin with. Get to know it. And then convert. And you'll then have an excellent idea what the two different arrangements do to the flight characteristics, and what you give up or gain from each.

Our hobby really gives us perfect opportunities to find out stuff ourselves.
