The thing about that taildragger designs is that as the tail swings out of line, forces tend to pull it even farther so that it is dynamically unstable.

If the steering knuckle were behind the wheel instead of in front, it would tend to pull itself back into line. Tend, I say, but I also think that it would be subject to a nasty case of the wiggles at virtually any speed. It would need a mighty steering stabilizer and tight bushings to keep things civil.
