Thumbs up

in case you have one or two brakes deavtivated, you have to leave the gear extended after T/O for a minimum of 2 minutes. this is to let the wheel spin down before retracting.
having brakes deactivated has also heavy penalties on T/O performance, with one deactivated you loose about 5 tons with two almost 10 tons.
