Sorry to contradict you sir, the Tecnam 2008 we have at the club POH states stalling speed 39 Kts and rotation T.O. speed 44 Kts That is 1,1 Vs
That of course implies as per POH that immediately after liftoff whatever technique used to reach VX or VY nose must be eased forward,
However nobody at the club (but tailwheel pilots) rotates at 40 kts they all wait 55 minimum at that speed you are close to VX, and have enough energy to set climb pitch angle without nose forward transition
It comes to the same, although the first technique gives you the feel and finesse and teaches you the correct reflex to deal with an emergency, i.e.ingrains the immediate response to lower the nose at any hint of speed decay whatever the scenario...
For crosswind and headwind, just hold T.O. run longer by reducīng angle of attack until reaching corrected rotation speed, as per POH numbers, so no diversion from SOP's
