What is the progression of control when taking off in a Quickie?

0

The sequence of control response as speed builds or more like the progression of controllable/usable items should be : -tailwheel -rudder -aileron -elevator -ground effect -climb. Hence holding the nose up initially affords the most directional control (thanks to the tailwheel) —– followed by the rudder —-aileron next(lean into the wind which is actually a slip against the tire sidewall countering the wind vector) —–finally if all goes well elevator (nose up) and lift off —–stay in ground effect trading airspeed for 150% lift —-climb at safe speed and rate.
