<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What works well for me is to quickly throttle
up to 1/3rd to 1/2 throttle depending on amount and degree of crosswind
component then smoothly apply the rest of throttle as needed to get your
prop blast working on your rudder till having enough speed to have better
rudder authority. Can't help the occasional loss of track or hitting bumps
in runway at that crucial time.. I ask my caller to place the aircraft
and test role it back and forth couple of feet to see if wheel will be
hitting any big bumps. Does keep the plane for me under control on
takeoffs and I have flown in some severe stuff... Canopies were flying
on the flight line. </FONT></DIV>

For the most part(and I know there are exceptions), the folks who take

TO method is sometimes a matter of safety. If you have a heavy
crosswind at your back it's best to get the plane running in a straight
direction as soon as possible. With taildraggers liking to weather vein
as they do. When we were scoring TO's on a 1 to 10 I saw a lot more
close calls with the guys on the upwind flight lines. I do agree that
the landings with trike gears were spectacular.

excellent wheel chocks. It was almost automatic to pick one up
on the way out to set the plane down and stick it in front of the
nose wheel... Saved time... About the time I sort of got
my act together on TOs and landings, they quit scoring them(or I
moved up and they didn't score them)--CRS disease
again...sigh... With trikes, the cool deal was
to lift the nose wheel, roll along for awhile as the airplane
gently lifted off. Landing was to wheel on the mains and
gently lower the nose-OR hold it off for a while. Seems like
Steve Helms did some of the prettiest ones....</SPAN></DIV>

conventional gear, pretty TOs and landings are a little more
difficult to do well, but I tend to think a guy that can run it
right down the centerline, roll it on and off smoothly OUGHT to have
an edge. I know this has been suggested before--but a guy who
does lovely TOs and landings WILL make a better initial impression
and the judges will EXPECT a better flight. The 'gun and
