You still don't get Bob's point, I'm afraid. The point is: How would the
air and the plane "know" that it's a taildragger, once the plane is flying?
And thusly, how would the plane "know" to behave differently in the air
because it has a different wheel (!) configuration?


It's the way the airplanes were designed then and now.
Alot of it has to do with adverse yaw and how the ailerons were hinged
then compared to how they are hinged now.
Find an old Champ and see how much of the forward portion of the aileron
extends above/below the wing surface when the aileron is deflected down
on the upgoing wing/down on the down going wing.
