ex,

It is fundamental to the design. It is a short coupled bi-plane. It is very sensitive on rudder as you accelerate for take-off. I am not inexperienced with taildraggers. This one is just more challenging. If you have others of similar design, it will be of no surprise. Definitely try to build in a touch of toe-in on the mains, input throttle gradually, and initially hold the tail down with the elevator. Be ready on rudder. The basics. I cheated and installed a gyro on yaw (rudder) that I can switch off in the air. Works fine. I still have to pay attention during take-off and landing, but now it acts like a typical taildragger. Easy-speezy.

Before anyone jumps in with, "Learn how to handle the plane!" Don't bother, it has been covered a hundred times before. I know the arguments. It is an aid that works for me. I don't always use it, but it is nice to have when I feel like it. It is no different that mixes and exponentials.
