Default LS-1F New owner interested in your experiences with the LS-1F

I am a new owner of an LS-1F and would like to hear from LS-1F pilots.
In particular, I would like to hear from you regarding first flights
and your impressions of the feel of the controls during take-off. My
first take off was pretty normal, the second and third were not handled
as well.

The plane has a tail skid, no wheel. I am applying full forward trim
during takeoff. Once she is flying I allowed her to get high and then
over compensated. During this transistion the controls (pitch) feel
very light and sensitive. Question how do you handle the takeoff.
Trim setting? Thanks
Ken
