What is wrong with DC3 takeoff ? How to fix and tailwheel lock unlock

Sorry to disagree but no aircraft is this dangerous to fly.
Yes, I can ‘get it off the ground’ and I can get it down again although its wanting to ground loop is almost a certainty. [yes, I have tried tail wheel lock on and off several times]
Just trying to keep it in line during take off is part luck part prayer and part fighting with the rudder and independent wheel brakes.
