Answer:

Clay is a ceramic. If you look at most ceramic products they will be made in clay. Quartz is a crystal. Glass is a composition of sand and other elements Silica as in silica gel is a man made chemical product that absorbs moisture - you have probably found a small sachet of it in new shoes or handbags.
Tail wheel aircraft can land on shorter and rougher surfaces than tricycle-gear aircraft.
Lighter weight. The Civil Air Patrol made a big mistake by ordering the Maul M-7 with tricycle gear, which greatly increased the weight, and made it bad for mountain flying, thus the aircraft didn't stay in the fleet for too long. The Maul M-7 taildragger was much lighter!
Yep, I concur with all of above. And yes flying a taildragger will make you a better pilot. I still remember my first flight in a super cub, on setting up for landing the pilot rolled into a full cross controled slip and held it until we were in ground effect, leveled it out and stopped within a hundred feet of the numbers. It still brings a smile to my lips.
