Wow, pulled it off, great especially if your trying all by yourself, its a continual learning experience, I did have some sailplanes tho many years back, the powered flight to even the Super Cub still had challenges, learned to maiden in zero winds, and overcontrol still occured, pulsing the stick at the start momentarily can help here, on ground launches quickly discovered with the Cub as a tail dragger to hold some up elevator only enough to get the tail up and she goes out straight long as the front wheels are aligned and even tucked in abit, after 30 to 50 feet easily takes off provided you don't over control, then straight out with gradual climb before any turns, its a winner of a plane, amazing so many newbies solo on this one so well, takes patience and persistance, wonderful plane, nice story...
