TAKING OFF PROCEDURES !!

[Madman]

Same here...

Short field takeoff training was bar all the way forward,once airborne pull bar slightly back...

Now that I am flying on my own,I pull bar completely in till I feel she want lift,as soon as I ease off,I climb like a home sick angel...that is coz I already built up so much airspeed...always fly with bar slightly in..maintaining 48/50mph.

What are the chances of clearing power lines when you have a Windlass 503,Aquilla 1(14sqm),pax and half tank 10am on a 400m runway..the power lines are on both ends of the runway

Is it wise to attempt this as I would like to visit someone with a strip on his farm with a friend(Pax),I weigh 100kg,friend 65kg's...

With WRJ and CAI(scout) I always kept the bar neutral untill I am feeling the wing is taking over the flight condisions.Then gently push is about a 1"25mm forward and it starts to rotate!Short field bar full forward and full power!After rotating bar back to 25mm before neutral or back depending on climbing out and airspeed!Rafiek you can come and pratice on my farm it lekkeer plat in die Vrystaat!
