Default RE: Setting front wheel hight?

I have found that you always want the nose a little low when setting on all wheels. If you have the nose high, you will find landings without excessive bouncing difficult and you may find the plane lifting off with insufficient flying speed resulting in the proverbial tip stall and cartwheel. A nose down attitude is almost mandatory if flying off a hard surface but you can get by with the nose a little high in grass.
