Default Biplane as first tail dragger ?

theo ne thing you will notice about tail draggers is when you throttole up, the plane swerves away from the torque. you have to fight it. you can compensate for that by adding a bit of up elevator right as you throtle up, but not much. if you do a gradual throttle up, jsut compensate for rudder. if you do it suddenly, pull up elevator until it speeds up, then release. you don't want it to lift off the ground prematurely.
