Default RE: Tail dragger take off

I've got a Seagull Spacewalker that dosen't like to have the throttle babied on takeoff. You have to give it from 1/3 to 1/2 throttle right off the bat, and just stand on the rudder untill the tail comes off the deck. The tailwheel is iffy and it dosen't do a very good job. Once the rudder is flying, it's much better, but still a little squirrely.

On the other hand, I have a Sportsman Aviation FW-190 that is the exact opposite, it's straight as an arrow on the deck.


Like Minn said, they're all different...
