Thanks Anvilfolk
It took me a long time to beable to take off smoothly in this bird, i thought that when Luthier said he would drown us in videos...i thought he meant tutorial vids like dcs did.
Everything ive picked up is from reading up on the forums here, mostly from Blackdog.kt (thanks Blackdog ~S~). I actually did not know about the CHT temps as the gauges are behind you, but i read you have to get oil temp to 40. So for the first few days all of my takeoff were hit and miss
The prop pitch thing is just habit, i can take off on full fine pitch also.
I think you can only use full brakes on the Blenheim, i set left rudder trim and just use my rudder full left as the speed starts to pick up, i tend to when first rolling to try and have it slightly going to the left on the runway so when the torque starts to pull it right you dont go to far to the right
