<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>

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. Mike<BR><BR><B><I>Richard Strickland

class=625243916-04102006>Cigarette butts(filters) used to make 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 go' guys are
shooting themselves in the foot.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
