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.

Until the engine quits, anyway.

My gut tells me that I should't retract my gear until I have enough altitude
that, in the event of engine failure, there's enough time to extend the gear
again before landing. But I'm not a pilot yet, and I could be wrong.
