Cannot get it off the ground (kinda) ...

[Nukenin]

Okay seriously, I am following about every video tutorial I can find, following the steps of cold start, warming the engine etc.
I just loaded up my F4U with two Tiny TIms, 50% fuel, think the weight is about 96% which is heavy, I know. But even though the startup trim helps me get the Corsair into the air ... it will never get over 100 mph ... maybe 110 max ... I cannot climb, I can barely keep it in the air and at some point I just hit some random house or tree because I am just skimming the ground.
I really feel that the engine is just not giving any pull at all ... 
It' s like I am missing one tiny detail ... 

F4U and how I cannot fly.trk

Are you setting the rpm via an axis control you have? If you are, try setting max rpm via mouse instead. There’s a huge difference I noticed. I found that fix from someone else when trying to figure out why I couldn’t get off the boat lol

If you're using an axis for RPM you need to make sure it's set to slider, otherwise that can cause issues with setting it correctly.

I have this problem anytime the speed is below approx 120. IT is as if I am short of power but prop rpm is 2600 and good manifold pressure. It does just not gain speed in level flight.

I was away for a while and didn' t even notice that I got replies after all. 

Yes it' s true, I was using an axis für the RPM settings and never tried anything else. I thought it was fine this way ... it might explain a lot. I will try to set it to slider or use other ways and hopefully it solves the issue! Thank you all for your help!

Also make sure you are using rudder properly and keeping the ball centered.  The side of the fuselage is an extraordinary air brake.
