Default RE: ESM Dornier DO 335


ORIGINAL: vertical grimmace

But please do not ''jump it into the air'' as this would be a good way to help it meet it's demise. Leaving the ground early is asking for a stall/snap, and none of us want that. With the trike gear, it should be easy to track very straight down the runway until enough speed is acquired for a smooth ascent.
I wasn't trying to be so literal. I was trying to assure him that he'll be fine. At 35 pounds, my plane gets airborne in about 225 feet. kahloq's plane will have a nice scale take-off at 37 pounds.
