Default RE: flying a tail dragger

It shouldn't be a problem. I took some kidding when I first started to solo because I would walk out on the runway and stand behind my plane when I took off. It helped my learn to not over control the rudder. Always keep up elevator when you taxi. I keep up elevator until I get up some speed, then release it and immediatly add up again and the plane lifts off. Never have nose overs either. I've never owned a tri gear plane.
