Maybe ease up on the back pressure until she's ready to fly?

Nosewheel steering was too confusing, easier to do it with the rudder. :D

As fast as the gear went up after takeoff that has “Hey,watch this!” written all over it....

That's a whole lot of drag for nothing.

They call it VR for a reason.

That's as good as TC Jetprop 1000 gets, pretty much (except for the Meggit, perhaps). Wish I could afford one.

Maybe less than takeoff thrust...?
seems kinda weird, didn't speed up as quick as I'd have expected...
I'm still grounded so maybe I'm losing perspective.
It did look like typical bush pilot technique, on a paved runway.
Meggitt stuff looks really cool to fly, when you're not busy playing Ms. Pac-Man and Space Invaders.

Yeah, they would need to come out eventually. A new TXi would do nicely.
