Hi Folks:
A quick question for all who have input on the subject. Is it proper procedure to lean for maximum power on takeoff roll during high density altitude operations? Can leaning be accomplished during run-up? I assume it must be done during the takeoff roll since leaning at run-up power does not approximate best power. I am a little nervous about leaning my brand new airplane on the takeoff roll though, don't want to run it off the end of the runway while fiddling around with the mixture. Any suggestions on good technique??

Thanks,

Mike
