Transparent VC in the Maltby models...

[Fodda]

Good point Garry. Are you trying to take off from a high altitude airport?

... I'm finding difficultly building up enough speed on an 8000ft runway to rotate...

Have you got the elevator trim set correctly for take-off?

Yes, as it says, 3 degrees positive trim.

Good point Garry. Are you trying to take off from a high altitude airport?

230ft elevation.

[Ant1981]

I think Foddas correct there but to be clear are you using 8000 feet to get the correct speed or are you having to get a high speed to rotate??

Garry

I'm rotating at about 140knts, but it's taking worringly long to get there. I sometimes just clear the localiser with my landing gear, then get stall warnings as I'm attempting to climb, no more than +2000ft/m.

have you got the slats (on the trident) and flaps set correctly. I can get both models in and out of Weybridge or Belfast City without problem

You mention you've not played with the payload but I beleieve like most models it comes in overweight
