    Just figured out a hack for this. After watching Trent?s video I decided to try full nose down trim for takeoff. I agree with Trent it gets your tail off quicker and gets your tail wheel clear of obstacles it can hit. Also eliminates tail shake. A lot of the shake comes from play in the trim motor I think. When you trim it full nose down it reduces the play.

    I just tried this for the first time two weeks ago and also noticed it reduces the shaking. I like it much more than starting with neutral trim.

    Yeah sorry I meant to say it reduces it not illuminates it. I have always taken off with slight nose down trim, but now I am going to just go full trim down.
