There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Do you want me to answer this?
Panther_99FS,
Other than a JATO, what else do you got? Getting airborne is possible in a Cessna 172, 182, and Piper Cub. Staying airborne is another matter. You ever so slowly eek downward.

You should consider leaning the mixture a bit if flying a reciproqual...and plan a departure early morning or evening for cooler temperature.
Overloading the plane or taking anything else than a toothbrush also not a good idea.

IIRC early morning only before sun is up, lean mixture and watch the airspeed, it will likely only just be above stall speed.
