Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 940 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 940 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 152 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Savage Cub taxied to runway 33 at CA11 Mc Cloud Airstrip and positioned for departure.
Takeoff was achieved after a ground roll of 70 m, representing 21 % of the available runway, with liftoff occurring at 46 kt. Ambient conditions were 5 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 176°, a crosswind component of 0 kt and a tailwind component of 2 kt.
Climb commenced overhead the departure field, rising from 7,110 ft asl to 7,278 ft asl - a gain of 169 ft - in less than one minute while covering less than one nautical mile.
Cruise began approximately one mile north-west of the airstrip and continued for 18 minutes, during which 28 nm were flown.
Descent started over O79 Sierraville Dearwater, descending from 6,346 ft asl to 5,095 ft asl, a loss of 1,251 ft in three minutes while traversing four nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21 at O79 Sierraville Dearwater was executed from the north-east on a heading of 229.0°, beginning at zero nautical miles and 109 ft agl.
Landing on runway 21, whose length is 940 m, was completed with a threshold speed of 41 kt, slightly below the target. Touchdown occurred 148 m down the runway at 37 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 66 fpm; alignment at touchdown was very good. Local weather remained 5 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 176°, a crosswind of 1 kt and a headwind component of 1 kt. The total landing roll measured 262 m, equivalent to 28 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was also very good.
Overall, the flight covered 34 nm, required 24 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 0 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 21 at O79 Sierraville Dearwater was flown from the north-east on a heading of 229.0° with the aircraft at 0 nm from the threshold and 109 ft above ground level. Local weather was 5 °C with a wind from 176° at 2 kt, including a 1-kt crosswind and a 1-kt headwind.
At the threshold the aircraft’s height was described as good and the threshold speed was slightly below target at 41 kt. The flare proceeded without further comment.
Touchdown occurred 148 m down the runway at a speed of 37 kt, noted as a little fast, with a vertical rate of -66 fpm described as excellent. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.
Rollout alignment remained very good and the total landing distance was 262 m, representing 28 % of the 940 m runway length.
Maintain the current technique but refine speed control to achieve the target threshold speed and reduce touchdown speed to the desired value, which will further optimise the already strong performance reflected in the 98.4 % score.
