When you taxi your airplane into position for takeoff, you have already cheked EVERYTHING except the static prop RPM. When you push that throttle home, if you are not turning the proper RPM, you can, and will reach your 60-mph rotating speed, but will it climb out? I have had people run down the runway with their carb heat on! That Tach will tell you immediately if something is wrong, even if you forgot to fill it with oil, or it is starving for fuel. When you move up to a bigger airplane, the Tach AND the Manifold pressure become your primary instruments during takeoff. George Frebert
