Stay away from the skybolt. It is too much airplane to learn tailwheel, bipes and faster birds all at the same time. The Hog is better in that regard by a little. Don't let people frighten you about taking off a tail dragger. If you have someone teach you that knows what is going on, you will be fine. They are only hard if you are afraid of them. Just know you will have to hold a touch of up elevator and some right rudder as the tail comes up, but not too much elevator. The rudder you have to do it once or twice and figure out how much. You should be able to use the rudder on your trike gear anyway. If you are not using it, get up and learn to use it in the air. Fly with both sticks, or just the rudder and no ailerons and learn to use it. You need to be able to fly both sticks anyway so learn now and learn right. Don't let the plane just go where it wants to on the ground. Put a line on the runway with chalk or flour and learn to stay on it with all your planes. It will make you a better pilot in the long run.
