Dial in a lot of Expo and short throw on the rudder for take off too, or you will be chasing tail all the way. One more thing to be watchful of, it will take off before it is ready, which usually results in a cartwheel as it will drop a wing once the AoA changes. Some times my takes offs are arrow straight, but most of the times its a zigzag chase before it lifts its wheels. Once off the ground though, it picks up speed quickly and becomes a blast to fly. I can do touch and goes for an hour, literately, since my FG-11 can run an hour on the 12 ounce tank. Its only when taking off from a dead stop that its a PITA. Until there is enough airspeed on the rudder, it doesn't take much for that nose to swing around.
