Taildragger or Tricycle

We are building a taildragger.  Dan got his endorsement a couple years ago and I have always wanted to learn.  I’ve read that the Sonex is a an easy taildragger to land, I think it has to do with the rigid tail wheel linkage.  The taildragger is a tad lighter too.

(We think the Sonex looks better with the wheel in the back 🙂 )
