Thanks Guys,

Just to clarify Dan there is no Vmu stated for this aircraft. The aircraft does not leave the ground prematurely because it is not my intention to do so. It is a very easy handling skill to fly with accuracy.

Dogcharlietree I appreciate your comments regarding maintaining runway directional control however I have no doubt that I could recognise an engine failure early enough and be reducing power to ground idle quick enough to avert much more than a degree or two of change.

My above comments do read with a degree of arrogance, please forgive me, my abilities are fairly measured and I do not consider myself an overconfident type. However with 23 yrs experience and a 5 figure total time and a considerable period of which in the demanding and exacting environment of Aerial Ag flying I feel I am not putting the aircraft in a potential loss of control situation.

I thank you both for your feed back and do agree with your comments on lessening the variables, and the coverage afforded by SOP's.

Regards
