I don't recall anything "unusual" about the take off - except that there was a control column instead of a stick!!
On the take off roll, I'd check everything was in the green and once the ASI became alive, I'd gently add forward presure until the tail was about 6-8" off the ground, she'd accelerate to about 40 and I'd ease her off into ground effect with climb out speed of NO less than 50mph - at 45mph she'd be on the back of the drag curve.
Very benign in stall - even Aerbabe and tKf managed it!
