https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0FQ1Hf32aASomeone posted a video of me taking off on YouTube so I thought I would put it out here for anyone interested. I know this is a Beechcraft forum, but I know some of you lust after more serious airplanes   Jeff Axel N228WP

Looks like you popped off the runway, 20 degrees of flaps? Ever use 5?

The main wheels are too far aft and it takes a healthy tug to get the nose up, so it leaps into the air. You then need to not hold that much stick into it. If you look closely, it pitches up, takes off, and then pitches down very quickly, less than a second later. The short body MU2 leaves no ambiguity when it transitions from ground to air, or air to ground. You will never be left wondering which state you are in. Mike C.

There is a technique that mitigates that "leap" nicely, but it takes a fair amount of practice to achieve. Great airplane though. George
