Default RE: Brakes?

What he is saying is if you jump that plane (or most planes, for that matter) into the air before they are flying, you will end up snapping it and crashing it on takeoff. The exception to this is if it is grossly overpowered.
Some planes fly at slower speeds than others. My clipped wing cub requires about 25 to 30 mph ground speed before I ever pull on the elevator.
