Default RE: Tail dragger conversion; Why?

Why did I converted my midstar from trike to tail dragger?

Pro:
• The airplane designed to be a tail dragger.
• Front wheel adds weight and drag
• Avoid the control system of the front wheel

Cons:
• Trike is easier to taxi and handle on the ground
• Its a little bit trickier to take off with a tail dragger
• The front wheel absorb the impact of bad landing
