Guys, I am in the category that I have been interested in aircraft for years and am just getting around to planning to build one. I am looking at what might be fun to build. I am also interested in the engineering of aircraft.
I have a curiosity question that I wonder if anyone can answer. Why is the landing gear so short? My thoughts on looking at the plane are that it would have to be wheel landed and that it would bounce if you tried to three point land it. Aren't tail draggers usually designed so that the three point attitude coincides with its stall angle? Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Thank you.
