Beagler, I did the latter part of my PPL on Grumman AA5's which don't have the most robust noselegs in the world. My instructor, who owned the plane, insisted on full throttle and full elevator to take the weight off the noseleg (these were AA5A's I don't know if it would work on an AA% with it's much smaller tailplane). Once we were rolling at a reasonable speed, the elevator was eased off to reduce drag. Worked well getting over the silos and trees at Popham on warm summer days.
