I have a kadet senior that was built in 1986 my first plane. It flys today as a taildragger with main gear moved one former forward and a free caster tail wheel. The senior has so much rudder that TO's aren't a problem. Ground handling is poor without direct tail wheel control, but if plane is placed on the runway TO with full up elevator, full throttle, ease off up elevator as speed builds then rotate for TO. Stearing on roll out is not a problem. Satio 65 for power and standard 3 channel
