Yes, that is my recollection from when I owned a Skylane. It's
takeoff and climb with 20 flaps was impressive and I believe the speed
recommended in this configuration was something ridiculously low like
51 knots. I did this a few times for practice and the deck angle was
scary, but the old girl flew just fine.


And I have VG's so I can climb well below the white arc.


I fly a 180 HP club Arrow now and boy do I miss the Skylane during
take-off and climb. The Arrow is marginally faster in cruise, but it is
a pig on take-off and climb, especially at lower airspeeds. It doesn't
climb well at all until above 80 knots.
