i had the same problem. first try slowing down the speed. i use DOSBOX where i press ctrl + f12 or f11. one speeds up the... well... speed; the other slows it down. then press the left arrow and only the left arrow first. when you gain enough speed (you can tell when the tail goes up) press up.

if your using a different dos emulator i dunno...

one trick i use is to press the right arrow and go to the right edge of the carrier. that way i have more allowance and space to gather speed and have time to press up when the tail goes up. i usually can just press left and up arrow at the beggining when i do this and still fly.

hope this helps
