I remember about 40 years ago, I was shooting touch and goes at lake front airport in NO. I came in high and hot, so added a bunch of flaps. AND forgot to dump them on take off. I was about 50 feet off ground going no where wondering WTF. So I played with the trim tab and things got a little better.Then It dawned on me what was wrong, so I started dumping the flaps and the trim. Then it flew off like a bird.
That might have been the day I decided, this ain't for me.
