Too much pitch up control, or at too low a speed, and the drag from the stabilator overcomes any advantage you might have had in getting airborne early
That's why, IMLE, the total distance to get "off" the ground is not reduced by the soft field or short field takeoff methods, compared to a straight max performance takeoff where you rotate at the lowest flying speed and go straight up, with the stall warner just going.
