Tail Wheel??

Postby Griffin » Mon Jul 13, 2009 11:08 am

While admiring Marks gyro I noticed the size or the tail wheel.
Why are there no tail wheel gyros? By this I mean no nose wheel.
Would this not give you a more robust undercarriage and the ability to get in and out of rough strips?

Seems like evolution? Most of the newer ones are trycycle U/C
