Default RE: Just got the Phoenix Super Decathlon

It took me a few times to figure out the best takeoff method. What worked best for me was to slowly throttle up and watch for plane to start to turn right. When it does, add in rudder to correct and keep the plane tracking straight and from that point, increase the throttle rapidly. About 5 seconds later the plane will leave the ground in a nice slow ascent but building speed until I add in elevator. Then she climbs hard and fast!! I tried the hit the throttle and go method but the plane will suddenly turn on you with no time to correct. [X(]
