Takeoff At 65-75 MPH increase back pressure, then relax slightly after A/C breaks ground to keep nose on the horizon. For crosswind takeoff, hold A/C on the ground to a higher speed, then pull up abruptly and make a coordinated turn into wind to correct for drift when clear of ground. Landing gear Retract as soon as safely airborne and in good control Flaps Retract upon clearing obstacles and IAS of 80 to 90 MPH Throttle Reduce to 25" MP w/i 2 minutes Fuel Pump Turn off at a safe altitude Climb at 115-120 for visibility and cooling. Best rate of climb speed is 100 MPH at sea level, decreasing approx. 1 MPH per 1000 feet of altitude. Maximum Angle of climb is about 80 MPH gear and flaps up.
