Default RE: Tail dragger take off

As has been said, every tail dragger is different, and much of it depends on tire size and runway conditions. For example, both of my Super Sportsters have required me to hold a little up until take off speed was reached or they'd nose over, but didn't require much rudder correction.

My 4* also requires elevator for the full take off run, and more rudder than the Sportsters.

My Cub requires almost no elevator once the tail comes up, but requires constant rudder attention.
