I've finally started on the tail of my 14A.
I spent a lot of time debating between a taildragger or trycycle gear. I like them both. At the time of purchase, there was a paved strip close by. As time passes it looks like this wonderful little airfield is about to be closed this Fall
The main thing that attracted me to the nose gear option was the flat profile of the main gear vs the round bar of the taildragger. Also, I seem to recall reading that the taildragger prototype will have a 360 hanging on it?
Can any of you folks comment on using a 14 vs a 14A on a grass strip? Looks like the future will most likely involve my own grass strip on my property.
Also, at this stage of the build it looks like very minor differences in the structure, so changing my mind won't be that big of a deal...
Thanks!
