RE: tim's wow take off
If the pilot knew how to use the rudder, this would have been another boring takeoff............
So to that pilot, I say THANK-YOU for having just enough skills to get in trouble, and not enough skills to make me laugh!!!!

That plane needs smooth throttle in order to take off properly. I think thats a Paulistina, Cub knock off. Looks to me like he started getting in trouble then gunned it. Torque roll - prop stops and plane turns. Did something very simular myself - once - only I did a complete roll 4ft off the ground. People aroung me said "wow, what a save" I said I had nothing to do with it. Dumb luck. And yes, this type of taildragger (and most) need constant right rudder on take off.
