With the nose on the ground it becomes almost impossible for anything but a
near-tropical-storm-force gust of wind (or higher) to move the airplane.

Why are many Canard designs (Cozy , Eze's etc)
parked with their noses resting on the ground?

Is it simply to reduce wear on the Nose gear or
for a more esoteric reason?
