So far in my experience if you pull enough through the dead and to give a continuous rate of rotation it pitches up uncomfortably quickly after the dead band.
So key is continuous rotation as opposed to maintaining the rotation at exactly the same rate throughout. When you get to the deadband pull a bit more but not loads to help it through. Be prepared for pitch rate to increase soon!
I was told that if you are at white bug speedish after rotation you've done good. Higher speed rotation was too slow and vice versa.
We use Flap 5-25 for takeoff.
Enjoy the TR!
