what im doing is this...

i feather the clutch and rev up then release the clutch and GOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

i was practicing 0-60s earlier on some backroads. i could do 3 secs but sometimes i botch my take off and i take more than 3 secs.

anybody got tips?

i also know that i have to lean forward to lessen the chance of a wheelie.

Roll onto the center line, apply full throttle, use the rudder pedals to maintain the center line, and hold back stick until the nose starts to come up, then ease off so the nose stays just a little high until the plane flies off the runway on its own... then climb at Vx or Vy depending on needs.

Seconds don't matter to the process.....

No, but there are nice guys and gals called CFIs who would be happy to do so for only a nominal fee. Just head to any small airport in your area and look for a sign like this:

If you think motorcycles are fun... airplanes are *more* fun.

will they let me start on a F16 class jet?

seriously, i gave up on learning to be a pilot since i found out how hard it is to be military pilot.

but i will join the military in a heartbeat if humaniod robots become the #1 weapon in warfare.

also, im still waiting for tips to improve my bike take offs.

How about a surplus JATO strapped to the rear end?

Gave up wanting to be a pilot 'cause you can't be a military pilot? That's just weird. Why you wanna get bossed around by the likes of GWB and the DoD?

Weren't you the one who posted the video of the guy jumping a mangled GSXR1000? That should be all the instruction you need.

it's bec of military technology... you get to play w/ the most advanced technology.

it's kinda like being in motoGP... they get to play w/ the most advance bikes.

Verm, someone needs to kick you in the "O Ring". I'd say slap you in the back of the head... but it's obviously where your brains are.

Military planes the most advanced? That's like saying cruisers are the best motorcycles.

If you started now you'd almost be ready to join Rocket Racing League races in... oh... 10 years.
