PA28 180 Take off
Hey all, New to the site, I just bought a PA28 180. The POH says Vr 55-60 and "let the plane fly itself off". Well it don't work that way with me. The first time I tried it, stall light on, plane wallows like a pig with 4 foot wings and it mushed down. Now I get up to 70 knots get it off the ground and release some back pressure, Works ok, but I wonder way I need so much speed over the POH recommendation. Perhaps the 5200 ft altitude? Anybody got experience with this...Thanks a lot...jerry
