If I have 2 souls on board my CH601HD and pull the stick back too aggressive on take-off, my tail tie down hits on the runway. The 1st time on pavement "the bang" scared the crap out of me and after I noticed the ground flat tie down ring.... I figured where the grass was coming from that always seemed to be on the rudder cables. The CH701 / 750 / 801 series all have a high angle tail because of the high angle of attack departure ability. Way too much fun !

Best put a roller blade wheel under your tail, to protect the rudder and rudder cables. Its gets real noisy on paved runways. ;>)
