Now unless it's for an upcoming jet rally I just say it can wait.

Here's the take off roll of the Flash. The landing looked pretty much the same but went further down the taxiway to the right due to no air left for brakes. Could have probably aborted the take off but we all know how those split second decisions go.

I've had a couple of take offs like that on my old Flash. Sucks if you're flying off a runway that is only 40' wide. . I installed a gyro for the nose wheel on my Ultra Flash. Works like a charm.
