Tricycle vs tail dragger
leaning towards tail dragger, gives prop clearance and easier to mount to the frame
tail dragger risk of tipping?

about the same price as shock absorbers.
springs easier to maintain, specs are available
pneumatic shocks? probably stick with spring shocks
spring shock can’t be tuned easily
