Both the Cub and Tigers take off like kittens when you advance the throttle with some degree of control. Slam the throttle and they both will do what any airplane that isn't flying yet would do. Follow the prop wherever the prop chooses to go. The prop, after all, is already flying and has grip on the air, whereas the airplane isn't flying and won't fight back until it's got the airspeed that makes the surfaces work.

As for using ailerons to steer on takeoff and landings............. When the airplane is taking off, it's pushing the angle of attack envelope. Use the ailerons and the downgoing aileron almost guarantees that wing stalls. Use the rudder on takeoffs for sure. Rudder turns are safer for a struggling wing that almost at stall angle and barely at flying speed. Takeoffs or landings.

As for "forgiving" on takeoffs, the Tigers are going to have an advantage over the Cub beyond the aerodynamic differences. They're tricycle geared airplanes. The wing is not being pulled forward at almost stall AOA on the early takoff roll. Any tricycle geared airplane has a built in "forgive" that's working for you every time you advance that throttle stick. You still want to advance the throttle under control, but with tricycles, you do have more margin. Tigers are the winners in this comparison. The wing isn't going to start out pitched up, slowing initial acceleration and probably already stalled.

The Tigers are great learning tools for newbies. They also teach the guys what a safe approach should look like...... nose never needs to point up, shouldn't pitch up, on approach.
