Side note: Can anyone else take off as smoothly as they did in the video? It seems my takeoffs are always a tug of war between gravity and myself, as I try to get the plane up before the wheels disintegrate and the plane noses over. I've never had a takeoff in the 109 on CoD that just smoothly lifted from the tarmac like the video....

I notice that he has about 10 degrees of flap on. I use that amount also with fine pitch and a little nose up trim and it will take of smoothly. I keep nudging the trim wheel near takeoff speed and it will nose up very smoothly. Then comes the fun for cleaning up for flight.
