    @TheOwlAce takeoff spped needs to be high with the tailwheel back there so close to the propeller, but if you push the nose down slightly the bounce back up, she is able to lift off the runway easily.

    Pretty radical design, never seen one where the prop shaft goes all the way through the plane. But doesnt the high tail wheel make taking off difficult?
