Question

Hi Beagler,

Why on earth wouldn't you apply full throttle at the start of the take-off run?

Ground run on grass is going to be bumpy regardless - surely failing to apply maximum power as early as possible will only marginally improve the ride, yet will definitely increase the take-off distance as far as I understand - which is surely less safe than otherwise?

OK, what do I know - still a student PPL - so maybe you can set me straight? Anyway I'm sure I will continue to always apply full throttle when I am ready to go!

Andy :-)
