F4U Carrier Takeoff ????
#11

Hi'
Just my 2 $ !

Benno's TIPS for Take-off from Escort Carriers !!
-------------------------------------------------------------------

1: Open Canopy.
2: Instrument Light "ON".
3: Start Engine.
4: Set Radiator.
5: Set Flaps to Take-Off.
6: Elevator Trim "nose-up.
7: Lock Tailwheel.
---------------------------------------------

8: FullPower / WEP "On".
9: "Chocks Away"

Keep the Stick a bit backwards to prevent propellors hitting the Deck.

*** When the Tail comes "UP" select flaps Full ***

Be very gentle on the pitch after Airborne until speed is above 200 KPH.

Happy Landings
Benno
