a/ @0.30 - the aircraft pitched down. (possibly incorrect trim set??)
I think that I would have allowed more straight and level
ground effect after t/o, than an immediate climb out with
nil obstructions
You are right, i think there were 2 reasons for the dip, at just prior to lift off i pulled the flaps from 24 deg (take off position) to 40deg(landing position) as recommended by other more experienced maule pilots to break ground, however I think I returned it back to 24 degrees to early causing the dip and prior to building a bit more speed and should have kept it in ground effect longer.
