Ahah, who wouldn't see that coming? pratically the whole weight of the aircraft is on top of those large wheels and set very high, it's like landing an unicycle!

Without a comforting wheel under the front end, its all too easy to tip a Tail-dragger onto her nose, at the best (worst) of times!... ...!

I suppose The only good thing about those long legs, is to keep the prop tips as far away from the ground, collecting stones, as possible, when manoeuvring... ...!

Well, I certainly LOVE long legs on the right bodies, but aircraft bodies aren't included.
Cool video though.  I'd bet the words from the pilot's mouth as the incident occurred were, "Oh s**t!"
