No.

Older design aircraft with a tail wheel rather than tricycle landing gear.

The CG had to e well behind the mains to keep them from nosing over. CG behind the mains means you had better be very careful.

Sure, old aircraft, that I knew as a tail dragger. The topic was 3-wheerers so I thought that was perhaps your reference for the one wheel in the back model.

I'm not going to be flying any airplanes, either :)
