But that's not really true.

I was a long-time flier and very proficient at flying the first time I ever flew a taildragger and my first takeoff with one was a heart-pounding experience.

I instinctively corrected for the pull of the torque, but I was not prepared for the early liftoff due to not being aware of the fact that I needed to control the plane's pitch down the runway (Which is automatically controlled on a trike by the nose wheel).

A combination of skill and luck was the only thing that kept that plane from being re-kitted. It's also worth noting that this was not a maiden flight where the plane might have been out of trim, it was my dad's Cub that he had been flying for years.
