Default RE: effect of down incidence

The F-86 -couldn't- take off if the pilot let the airspeed get too high on the takeoff run!
A warbird Sabre ran off the end of a runway out here many years ago because of this, and hit an ice cream parlor well off the end of the runway.
Insufficient control power from the elevator to rotate the airplane if the pilot delayed and let it too fast.
