Absolutely true, but counter-intuitively, the only way this could happen is with low acceleration. High acceleration means high rope tension which acts to pull the nose down if the tailwheel is still rolling.


....Or perhaps any acceleration with C/G near the aft limit?
Experienced a "good looking" start if you didn't notice the stick full forward until airborne.
Still enjoy winch launching. We should do more of it.
