Two more cents
Turbo RSTOL 337
Based at www.potomac-airfield.com KVKX 2665 x 40 ft, surrounded by tall trees, deep in a valley, surrounded by surface to air defenses around Washington DC... (While 'encouraging' a rapid climb, I don't think they actually affect climb rate). 1/3 to 2/3 flaps (RSTOL) Max power. Begin roll. Once in a positive climb bring RPM back 'just a hair' Don't touch throttles. You will clearly hear the grinding supersonic prop tips' 'suddenly go 'quiet" Try that in level flight somewhere. You'll hear it, I don't touch anything else until 500ft or more. Then gear. Then flaps.
