okay...what's with the tail dragger thing being so damn impossibly? again today i went out with my buddy and tried to fly my plane, and why did the piece of junk ground loop? every time i try to fly the thing, i have to change the prop before i even get the thing in the air. why is the torque so much different than a trike, or is it? see i wouldn't know because i haven't tried a trike yet. everyone else makes it look like it is. they make tail dragger-trainers and i like the look of it because deep down i'm a warbird junkie, so i buy and build one and i can't get the damn thing in the air unless my buddy hucks the crap. i've tried every way that i can think of to take off from slowly rolling on the throttle to holding the plane with full throttle to slamming the throttle to assault spiraling down the runway at full throttle hoping it gets airborne before it hits something. if i do manage to get it dwn the runway in a straight line, all the sudden it gets squirlly and i lose control and hit something like a pit spot, or i yank back on the elevator and barely get it up completely out of control and hope i recover from it before it snaps over (like today) and augers in. could i have too much rudder? is the plane made to make you think it's supposed to take off from a runway? because it did come with a fake chunk of wood painted to look like a tail wheel and i changed it for ground handling purposes. anyway... are all taildraggers like this or is it just me and my plane?
