Thanks for any answers,

Retractable nose gear (less drag) and there is a rubber pad for parking in that position. My dad's EZ was hand start (prop) for less weight and the aircraft would "get away" if not parked in the down position upon firing. This is not a picture of my dad's EZ just one borrowed from the net.
