ICE,

Maiden it your self. You built it, you should be the first to fly it. Think about how you'll feel if some else crashes it <g>.

If the US is your 1st tail-dragger, just be aware it's a bit trickier. Hold some up elevator at the beginning of the take-off run, gradually release it as you build speed. Watch the tail wheel - when it comes off the ground, give it a little up - and there you go.
