Default Taildragger ground handling?

how i take off all my tail draggers (counts... yup every plane i own now)

give about 1/4-1/3 throttle to get it rolling and straight. advance to about 3/4 throttle to get the tail up and moving then full to get to flying speed and takeoff.

unless its my Somthin extra then i just nail the throttle and hang on :bananahea :spinnyeye but that one doesnt even have a tail wheel

just get used to "flying" the tail, one thing you can do is taxi around at just the point were the tail is up drive around like that, will get you moving that rudder by reflex.
