As a tailwheel guy, I have to agree with the majority...no three-point takeoffs, especially with underpowered airplanes. Assist the tail up (not a dramatic push on the stick) to a slightly nose high (tail low) attitude and let it fly off when it is ready. Finesse.
On the other hand driving along with the nose low waiting for the speed to build to "rotate" speed, plus more for the wife and kids, before pulling it off is not desirable either. Finesse.
I flew friend's Porterfield-Turner (looks like a J-3) with a C-65 engine. Same technique as described above. Works great.
If flying by the numbers is desired, fly a jet. Underpowered taildraggers don't need too many numbers to fly. Finesse.
