maybe the hotdog method of achieving liftoff then maintaing low level
horizontal flight and accelerating like hell before climb out is a
better way of flying them.
interesting.



You may have finally made a positive point for hot-dogging. Anyone think of
a down side?


Not a one.

Yes, and I'm surprised there is no rebuttal.
If it was better, it wouldn't be called 'hot-dogging.' ;-)

For openers...
The FAA is not known to support 'hot-dogging'.
Neither do legit aircraft manufacturers, AFAIK.

Why?
Like has been said...
It's just hot-dogging.

hot-dogging;

1. to perform in a recklessly or flamboyantly skillful manner,
show off.

2. intended or done to draw attention; showy or sensational.


Although speed can be traded for altitude,
you won't get as much with this technique
or as much opportunity to pick a crash site.


Blast away.
