How much do you guys worry about your plane being damaged buy inexperienced ground handlers towing when you leave it an a fbo?
Do the earlier piston powered planes have less robust structure around the nose gear?

That is always a concern. I have marked some red limit lines on my radome and nose gear.
I always give the nose a good look when I think they have towed it.

Mine has the red lines as well. I don't worry about it too much, but as Steve says, I like to take a good look at the nose gear afterwards.
