Try a Maule - you can drag tail and carry stuff too!

The TT's gear is the original gear moved forward, so that its
deck angle on the ground is shallow; that raises takeoff and landing
speeds since you can't get the nose higher. Besides, I've flown several
aircraft that use O-200s and I still can't figure out where all that
power goes in a 150. The other airplanes perform much better. Old
straight-tail, no-back-window 150s were faster, lighter and better
overall performers; I think the sharp profile change needed when they
stuck that window in must have hurt the airplane.
Find a real taildragger.
