<< the idea behind firewalling the throttle is that the coupe would go from a crabbed figuration to a one straight down the runway, you would not be flying fast enough to take off as the burst of speed is just a short one ......... >> Great Idea, I bet similar tactics were used by the Kamikaze pilots in WW2! It worked for them, so maybe we should seriuosly consider this maneuver. I plan to try this my next flight and will let the group know how it works out. I have been flying for over 42 years and you learn something new every day. I plan to try it in my Ercoupe before I try it in the 727 since the cleanup would a lot easier and I know all the people involved would appreciate it. Kim N2523H N427EX NC
