This thread has got me thinking about takeoff performance. I've been watching my takeoff RPM and it seems to be low ~2620 as I begin my takeoff roll.

Midwest Corporate Air - Bellefontaine, OH. Great group of folks and top notch training. I got my multi-engine rating in their DA42. They have since added two more to their fleet.
