Does any know (or care to speculate) about the performance difference between Q-200's with tricycle gear vs. taildragger?
Aside from handling/visibility benefits, I'm anticipating some cost (drag and weight), but then I thought perhaps there might be some compensating design benefit (is there a flatter wing on the Tri-Q?). I'm also wondering whether it affects the W&B significantly; I assume folks have done the O-200, but also saw a listing for a Tri-Q with a 70hp engine.
