RE: First tail dragger questions
Hold full up elevator while taxing. As you start your take off run ease off on the elevator until you have the equivelant of 2 or 3 clicks of up elevator (this will vary from plane to plane ). On your plane you should need minimal up elevator as the wheels are well forward of the leading edge.
BE READY FOR WHEN THE TAIL COMES OFF THE GROUND. You will need to give it A LITTLE right rudder to keep it running straight. At this point back off to neutral (perhaps 1 click of up elevator ) and let the plane build up some speed. Now give it A LITTLE up elevator and you will be airborne.
For landing, FLY the plane to where the mains are about 3" from the ground. As you reduce the throttle to off, feed in A LITTLE up elevator AND HOLD IT (You don't want the plane to baloon, just bleed off speed ). The plane will settle in to a nice 3 point landing.
