Very nice calm reaction, well done. We can all only hope we react similarly in the event of a problem. Think about a before takeoff checklist or a more rigorous flow check each time you’re entering a runway for departure. Stay safe!

@@EricEsser Eric I couldn’t agree more! Untouching goes or anytime i’m doing a takeoff. I will have my checklist out that was a lesson learned for sure. I was checking the fuel pressure gauge because I had issues with it which I corrected and turned off the fuel pump, but didn’t turn it back on, and that would’ve been caught with a checklist. Thank you for watching and thank you for your comments. Much appreciated.

I think you need also read the New Testament. When Jesus, Gods only Begotten Son went to the cross for all our sins he took those punishments for us. His blood shed is our atonement, so we do not have to suffer Gods wrath. God Loves All of us! And we are all sinners. Jesus Christ was a sacrificial Lamb, the atonement for all of our sins.

@@ScottsSynthStuff you need the power to gain rudder authority, completely different than flying a trike
@ScottsSynthStuffАй бұрын
@fpvflyby6855 I understand that. The point is not that you need the power and airflow over the tail, it's the rapid acceleration of engine from low RPM: it is stressful on the crankshaft, gearbox and other components. Just hold the brakes at the threshold, then slowly increase throttle over the course of 5 or 6 seconds before brake release. Your engine will thank you.
