I have a ParkZone Cub which I absolutely love. The first time I actually got it to fly, I took off from a nice paved strip (access road around the cemetery) and it was airborne with no problem. It must have been beginner's luck. That first day, I took off from that strip a dozen times, no problem at all. Now, I can't take off from the ground to save my life. The plane flies just as well by heaving it into the air by hand, but I like the realistic aspect of a rolling takeoff.

I've heard that it can be tricky to takeoff with a taildragger, and I can see why. No matter what I do, the plane will track straight for a few feet, then just start spinning donuts on the ground.

How do I get this bird off the ground and into the air?!?!

Thanks!
