Three point position is perfect for  takeoffs.>>

  

 Hi John,

  

 Do you do that?.  I know that it is a  suggested  method  but I have never thought much of the idea. It seems  to me that with the tail down there is a danger of lifting off at a very  marginal speed, maybe only into ground effect in a nose high attitude. Do you  then level out to gain more speed before you climb or can you just climb  away?

  

 I always lift the tail in the first few yards and  then climb out when flying speed is reached being already in a flying  attitude.

  

 Does taking off tail down decrease the takeoff run  needed? I may need to try it in a STOL  situation one day

  

 Cheers

  

 Pat
