People are all complaining about prop strikes but actually, the nose wheel is designed so that at full compression the prop isn’t touching the ground, and eventually they’re going to add a smaller diameter, 3 bladed prop so you can smash the nose gear even harder and not get a prop strike. Also, you can use unlimited brakes, which is something you can’t do without having a prop strike in a tail dragger.

I'm would never advocate the use of conventional (tail dragger) gear because I think it is obsolete and poses a lot of difficulties in handling. Every time I questioned a tail dragger pilot why he/she didn't buy/build a trycicle gear aircraft I've always received that ubiquitous answer: "because it's more demanding, challenging..."Go figure... I cannot understand that easily, but accept other pilots preferences and opinions. But, judging by what I've watched on the video, I doubt that the prop can't touch the ground at that arrangement. It was pretty clear for me there is only a tiny and scarce clearance. Depending on rotational speed it is not necessary to touch the ground itself - grass can produce damage (ask me how I know...). For what I've learned watching this (and other trike carbon cub videos), tail draggers carbon cubs are much more safe and efficient on non-prepared runways (even don't liking them). My opinion: back to drawing board and design something completely new. Well, Zenair already done it with CH701/801 and were very succesful in producing a effective and reliable trycicle gear bush plane. This nose gear carbon cub seems like a fancy excrescence and, since it is 180 degree free castoring nose wheel, it cannot add easiness on crosswind operations... my 2 cents.

@@RobertoRMOLA Some good points. But I don’t think one can call conventional gear simply “obsolete” like you could with say a manual car transmission. Planes went tricycle to get a level floor for easier loading of cargo and passengers. Tricycle is not more robust, the simple fact of a single attachment point/nose leg tube in the nose gear due to needing to turn limits its strength. The mains are where the strength is but you can’t keep a trike on the mains only if you use much braking, then you’re back on the weak nose gear and low prop, As for handling, the wheelbase length of a conventional gear is huge and this helps to keep them solid on rough ground. Trikes are only a few feet from mains to nose so they pitch for and aft ALOT on rough ground and the prop is bouncing up and down close to the ground the whole time, also trikes can tip forward onto the nose and one main with the prop and a wingtip on the ground. I’ve flown both configurations about half and half of my flying time and the only time I’ve ended up off the side of a runway unintentionally was due to wheelbarrowing on tricycle gear.

The prop may never touch the tarmac or a taxiway even with full brakes and full compressed nose suspension. But try taxiing in a field with rocks the size of basketballs or in long grass where you don’t see the dip or hole that your nose wheel drops into. This is hopeless for off airport flying, and a small diameter three or more blade prop will never pull as much air for a rapid take off roll as a long two blade. Small fast high pitch props are for high speed not for max thrust at low speed
@srnunan4783

As for the brakes, trike brakes are on the rear wheels only, so as you apply these “unlimited” brakes, the weight increases on the already weak unbraked nose wheel and the weight comes off your braked mains until one or both lock up and skid, try using rear brake only on a dirt bike and see how you go!! With conventional the downward pressure increases on the mains when you brake giving you even more authority, so much brake authority that you can tip them on the nose if your brakes are good enough. I argue that it’s conventional that have the “unlimited braking” power, as opposed to trikes that are very much limited by the weight moving forward and the wheel locks up, the plane keeps sliding till you hit the fence/tree etc

The taildragger checkout was 5 takeoffs and landings. I thought the instructor was crazy when he jumped out and said, "Keep practicing. You're doing well." Never ground looped a taildragger ever in approximately 4,000 taildragger landings in Champs, Maules, C-180, Luscombe, L-19, T-6, Pawnee, and AgCat. I don't understand why some people have a problem with conventional gear?

I'm not a pilot either but it seems it is all about visibility, you can see the landing strip clearly while landing , when tail goes down in the original CUB you end up watching the stars and can't see where you are heading. During takeoff during the first seconds when the tail is still down, same problem, can not see where are you heading. Since a few seconds are needed to raise the tail in the original CUB and the NX already has the tail up then the NX version requires less runway.

If you land on a rough enough field... no need to lower the nosewheel, it will be folded back for you (prop strike, bent engine mount)! With a tail wheel and tundra tires, the rough field wouldn’t be any problem.
