Dudley Henriques
P-51 Takeoff

Engine checks are routine.
I did them all at 2300 RPM. Mags and prop, a Simmond's regulator check, supercharger check . Of course there are other things to check like carb air and radiator air switches...I won't go through the check list item by item....it's boring as hell anyway.

Now, takeoff in the Mustang is something else again. Don't get me wrong, it's easy if you do it right, but it can bite your butt if you don't.
  • Rudder trim should be set at about 6 degrees right
  • Line it up and "S" it a bit to line the tailwheel
  • Keep the stick back of neutral to lock the tailwheel
  • Now you EEEEAAAASSSSEEEE in about 40 inches of manifold pressure (MP)
  • As she begins to accelerate, you ease in the rest...all the way to 61 inches

At this point, you can stop talking to yourself because you can't hear anything else in the world but that Merlin up front - the exhaust stacks are lined up almost directly with your ears
