Subject: To drag the tail or not.


I'm in the early stages of scratch building an 601 XL - The intent is to 
visit bush areas to hike around the country ( I chose the 601 over the 
701 merely from the point of view that the cruise speed provides a 
better weekend range radius). The question begs to be answered should I 
build it with the training wheel on the tail?  I learnt to fly on 
military taildraggers so am not intimidated - but seeing as the plane 
looks just as sexy with a nose wheel, I was wondering whether there are 
any stories of strength concerns with the nosewheel set up in rough 
airfield conditions?
