O.K., now you're calling my baby ugly. :-) 500 hours in the Tripacer I had, landing in cross winds 20G30 at 90 degrees to the runway and other very windy conditions, some at night, and my baby always maintained a three point stance. Tripacers do have a tall and narrow gear but treated right they treat you right also. If Tripacers went flipping on the ground, the owner didn't handle them correctly or didn't love them enough to time them down. They also had spring loaded up flaps and when parked tail in to the wind you had to lock them down with the flap handle or they would flop up and down with the wind. Pilot, know your airplane.
