Can someone please tell me why you would want to take a very good aircraft (RV-9) and turn it into a death trap by putting a nose wheel on it?
Well, TBH I learned on NW aircraft and have always found them to be easy to handle. While I'm sure taildraggers are good they seem a bit 1930's for me. I mean, if taildraggers were so great then all modern airliners would be based on a DC3 type airframe.

I shall investigate the RV NW issues further.
