Advance to full throttle prior to or during take-off run. At a minimum speed of

Taxiing
If the wings are equipped with the respective wheels, the powered sailplane
can be operated independently with the steerable tail wheel on the ground.
Nevertheless you have to take care, that the lowered wing will not be
damaged by i.e. bigger stones.
While Taxiing pull the elevator all the way back. Operate the wheel brake
with the right hand on the stick.
