I think the take-off issue may well be my logitech pedals. I can’t apply them smoothly enough to compensate for the torque of the engine. I’m still waiting to see the Honeycomb Charlie pedals, but either way, an upgrade is coming.
Landing is a whole other thing. I think the answer is going to be practice and study.
I find taxiing the Flying Iron is now quite pleasant. The original was really difficult.
