I had a lot of trouble learning on a trike. Our fields on grass and the nose wheel would fold under and cause it to track funny then it was real sensitive to input and would get all squirrely before I even left the ground. I loved moving to a tail dragger. Just line it up, give it throttle and the tail leaves the ground. Let it roll a lil more and pull up. And my gear was getting mushy on the nexstar. At times I could touch down easy and still bang the prop and stop the engine. A couple of times I had took the main gear out, put it in the picnic table and bent it back down.
