Subject at hand: Landing gear design.



For structural and weigh reasons a conventional 2 up front gear would
work best, but as we all know it isn't the best choice for low time
modern pilots, or cross wind conditions.

I vote for the pilot to become proficient in taildraggers. It really
isn't that hard. I may be biased a bit since I learned to fly in a
taildragger at age 15, so I really don't know anything else. All of the
taildraggers (and nosedraggers as well) I have flown in the subsequent
32 years have absolutely no more scratches on them than when I initally
climbed aboard...
