Thanks for the comments and suggestions, Paul and
Rusty.
My take offs will be very conservative until I can
use a more forgiving runway to explore the full "potential". The nose
wheel does take some of the angst out of the situation.
Hope you guys are once again have batten down the
hatches or getting the heck out of there.

The accepted method for takeoff was to
apply power gently, until enough airspeed is achieved that the rudder has more
authority. (Of course ailerons and other controls will also slowly gain more
authority). Once the tailwheel was up and flying speed was attained,
only then was more power added.
How about that, exactly how I takeoff in the overpowered,
and overpropped RV-3. The plane is more manageable with the tail up,
since I imagine that takes the P factor out, and leaves you with
"only" torque and slipstream
effects.

up)
