Default RE: basic landing gear setup

You want the nose slightly low; zero or negative angle of attack for the wing. As you approach flight speed, the nose wheel will lift with just a touch of up elevator and you can make a nice takeoff. If you have the nose up when at rest, landings will be very difficult with lots of bounces.
