Default RE: Hard time taking off

I want to 2nd the tail dragger . I crashed my 2nd hand .40 trainer with tricycle gear 4 times on take off . Four good take offs 4 crash and repair . I got a duraplane trainer used for $25 set up as a tail dragger 12 take offs 0 crash at take off . Not to say some of those take offs were not quite crazy LOL . I was very frustrated because I have flown electric hand launh very well and flew glow with a buddy set up fly and land very well but take offs were crash time. I am 55 and my reactions are not of a 20 yr old either.
