F4U Carrier Takeoff ????
#3

As a general rule for the F4U....

First release the chocks and then reapply them. This will get you on the deck instead of hovering above it before take off.

9 clicks of right rudder trim.
2 clicks of up elevator trim.
1 click of left aileron trim.
Mix to 120%
Power to 110%

Release chocks.
When you pass the conning tower, drop half flaps (take off).
When you lift off the bow, drop full flaps and raise gear (FAST).
When the gear comes up, start to raise flaps back to 1/4 (1 Notch).

As speed comes up to 130kts, raise the flaps and level the nose.

That should help you.
S!
