The technique I have evolved over 1500 hrs is a version of Bud's approach (that is to keep the tail wheel on the ground until the plane just lifts off) but possibly simpler to apply and I believe it makes take offs pretty much non events. Firstly I trim fairly markedly down - on mine that leaves just the bottom two light bars showing on the trim indicator (- this being especially good for your life's prospects should you experience an EFATO). Then maintain a constant moderate back pressure on the stick as you accelerate. The stick force trying to take the stick forwards increases markedly as speed increases and I simply let the stick move forwards maintaining that same back pressure. It takes a few take offs to settle on the right amount of back pressure, but it is the amount you need to counter the downward trim and be flying level as the plane lifts off. Too much back pressure and the plane balloons up and vice versa. It very soon becomes second nature, and leaves you little to do on take off other than maintain a straight line.

If somebodies idea didn't work, ask and go try it.Personally, I hold the stick back until about 35 and the engine is good then relax my death grip holding the stick back and just let it fly off. Moving the stick forward enough to maintain the pitch attitude.It works for me. Once you are comfortable in the aircraft, you relax a bit and feel the aircraft.Best Regards,Bud --
