How about power after rotation?

[Jerry De Santis]

Rick, The reason I use full power on take off is for safety purposes. If I rotate and climb a few hundred feet and lose an engine with no more runway left to land on, I want all the power I can get with the live engine to continue the climb. A second or two delay can make a difference in the initial climb rate since you will be closer to blue line without full power.
