Thanks Craig for understanding the issue that I am trying to resolve. I’m going to add more air to my strut to increase the AOA. And use less up on TO roll. I normally take off with out flaps, and...

OK, just bouncing back the way I understand. I’m not having thrust to pitching problems in the air flying. This is a rotation issue. IF there is too much down thrust causing the nose to pitch down,...

Nice maiden and soft field take off. Putting air in my nose gear increasing the AOA helped. I just had another thought that I have too much down thrust angle on the pipe. That would also cause an...
