    Great videos! Thanks for sharing. The LOC-G accidents I've seen are things like taxiing off center and smacking runway lights, cutting corners etc rather than 'ground loops'. It would be interesting to see some examples of what the tricycle LOC-G incid are. The insurance rates I think are the tell on what is more likely to get into (expensive) trouble. Tricycle gear definitely allows a pilot to be WAY more sloppy on yaw control, which is why many of us (tricycle pilots) are. Tailwheel and glider flying will tighten that up, making the point that they are less forgiving. Though tricycle gear doesn't eliminate ground issues, it seems to help. I Learned from the videos. Thanks again!
