Let me guess.  You're one of those that will always answer a new guys question with  "Just hit Alt + F4".

Let me guess, you one of those that will fall for that more than one time on the same day.  Relax, you already got several answers on the subject.  Try smiling once in a while.

I find slight forward pressure on the stick seema to help . i lets the f4u drop off the deck before pulling into level flight. i've never struggled with lifing an f4 off the cv

Also a touch of right rudder after you clear the deck plus all of the above.

It also helps to back up some.  Starting from the rear of the deck gives you a little more speed.  It's the only way I will up from a CV with a fully loaded F4U.

How do you back up?

You crack the throttle a tiny bit until you begin to roll backwards. This is fine if you land something else besides a carrier plane aboard. However, there's never any reason to back-up any aircraft that spawned on the CV. All CV aircraft, fully loaded, will get airborne without drama providing you use full flaps.
