At full takeoff power with left crosswind, full rudder might not be sufficient at
speeds below 75 km/h, to keep the aircraft on centerline if the nose / tail
wheel is already off the ground.
It is not recommended to perform a takeoff with flaps in Pos. 2 or 3, because
the fowler flaps produce at lot of drag in this positions.
