A good technique to stay in ground effect in the Baron that I fly is to push
forward on the yoke as you accelerate to between 100-120 K, and then retract
the gear. This guarantees that you will remain in ground effect.

A brisk pull back on the yoke will then establish a climb attitude.

Friction. Think to yourself, which is going to be less draggy..

a) speeding along the ground, tyres creating friction with the ground
b) speeding along in ground effect, tyres not creating friction with
the ground

get off the ground, accellerate in ground effect to desired climb
speed, climb away and enjoy. Especially when the surface is less than
perfect.
