H201 Libelle and wing dropping

Stick full forward from the beginning of the takeoff roll until the tail
comes up. This will get you aileron authority as quickly as possible.

I suggst that this is not good practice in a cross-wind takeoff, where
you want the tail wheel firmly on the ground to help keep the glider
straight. It is probably not necessary in any case: by the time you are
going fast enough to lift the tail, aren't the ailerons already so
effective you won't drop a wing?
