That's why I recommend starting out with a plane with a nose gear.
I have to agree with this statement. My second plane was a tail dragger, so I already new how to fly with my first tail dragger, so making adjustments to properly taxi and take off were not a big deal, just flying the plane on the ground. Had it been my first plane, I imagine it would have been much longer before I soloed, and may have very well had the same experience you did.

Glad you didn't lose anything. Maybe this was enough for you to learn. Keep at it!
