So, I am in my Aztec at Newcastle, using full length, gin clear day with a 15kt wind straight down the runway.

I rotate at 75kt, 330m of runway behind me, 2000m in front of me. I whip the gear up and I am at 100ft, 85kt when BANG, massive yaw to the left, severe vibration.

Someone tell me what to do. (Remember that no left engine means that if I want the gear down I have to either pump it manually, 40 strokes, or fiddle on the floor between my legs looking for the CO2.)

Come on...someone tell me that I am better off with the gear up than down.
