Learn how to quickly get best power during the takeoff roll, using
your mixture control for any higher altitude takeoffs.

I start my engine with the mixture set near normal best setting. Then
lean another quarter inch or so to taxi. Push in the mixture a bit
rich to perform a mixture RPM test around 1700 RPM. Mixture is
adjusted to maximum RPM.

Airport altitude around 6880'. Density altitude during the summer can
approach 10,000'.
