People that have difficultly taking off and landing tail draggers usually aren't much better with nose gear models.

The primary difficulty with tail draggers is landing gear placement. If you fly off pavement, the gear needs to be further back than if flown off of grass. If too far forward, the model tends to want to ground loop on hard surfaces. When too far back, they tend to go onto the nose. On a 40-60 sized model, the location difference is about 1/2".
