A taildragger is an aircraft whose undercarriage consists of (usually) two main wheels forward of the center of gravity, and a small wheel or skid to support the tail.

Why do most aerobatic aircraft have conventional landing gear?
The tailwheel is much lighter and smaller than a nose wheel. That means reducing airplane overall weight and drag (because the landing gear is usually fixed). And it's probably cheaper, too.
