-------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
