My trainer was a deboniar converted to a dragger. So I never got fly a plane with a tricycle gear;until now when I get my cherokee flying. I guess It's similar when you are learning to drive ; It's easy to learn a stick and then a automatic; so when you transfer to the auto, its much easier vs. when you learn a automatic first then a manuel; most people find a stick is harder to drive at first but soon get it. So if it is hard for you;keep on trying and you will soon get it
