Hi Rob,
You are right: I did not specify monowheel, nosewheel or conventional
tailwheel. That is because I am flexible, as it may be that with one
configuration it is easier to remove and attach the wings. However, I
doubt whether this is the case. The replies I received have indeed given
me the impression that the type of undercarriage does not make much
difference in this respect.
The configuration I am most inclined to get is monowheel, as it is the
most efficient in flight as it is retractable. Thus it makes bes use of
the space between the two seats.
Thanks to all of you who replied.
