And Rob's comment is valid but could be a function of power available. I did have to s turn a bunch taking off behind him and his mom one day so I didn't run over them. (or maybe he was just flying like a little old lady????)Joe

Mine is dead level. It accelerates fine then I lift off (at 60 mph) and then go level again in ground effect to accelerate to 80 mph before I rotate out and climb. I have taken off in grass using a soft field take off (nose up to keep it our of the grass), and it seems to take forever for the plane to get up speed.
