Hi Mark Mine actually lifts off at 37 knots in ground effect and will fly a foot or so above the ground however stall at altitude is at about 42 knots. I try not to rotate and climb until about 55 -60 knots and I figured if it climbs out at that then I can safely approach using the same numbers in my earlier flights. any slower and the nose gets really high affecting visibility.

I would think so, at least some small amount, but I don't know for sure.
