Put the carb heat on when you are lined up for takeoff. Increase power to runup value to get a good blast of hot air into the carb, pause for 15 seconds or so then if no indications of ice, carb heat off and apply full power. When full power is achieved check that the RPM guage is showing the correct static RPM value (remember this will be well below redline RPM) indicating you are achieving full power, and you are good to go to continue the takeoff.
I like it! Thanks, I'll work that into things from now on.
Cheers
