Subject: 1st flight mishap

To: AAA Put this in the To box



The  whole incident, from start to finish consumed about 3500 - 4000 feet of
the  6000 foot runway.  She was off the ground before the 2000 foot  marker.
And today was not a standard day -- DA this afternoon was about  8300 feet.
So yeah -- plenty of get up & go.

Agree on the slower  warm-ups vs blasting down the runway at full power...

Live & learn  I suppose...

Mark,
You might not need to make any more high speed taxi tests, but a good
suggestion was made by a friend of mine. Run it without the wings on until
you're ready to fly. You can go as fast as you want without unexpected aviation.
