I'll admit to sloppy flying this weekend, and I hope I learned my

robust. *I've also been grilled to be very careful to make sure I use
the Carb Heat in my landing pattern. *Well, I was doing pattern work
and wasn't using a checklist between landing and take offs. *On the
last T/O I neglected to put the carb heat off, which was a carry over
from neglecting to fully clean up my ship after exiting the runway.

After lift off, which took a bit more runway than usual, the plane
just felt anemic. *I realized something was wrong and looked at my
RPM's which were 200 less than what I needed. *I checked the throttle,
that was correct, mixture ok flaps ok then I saw my carb heat was on.
DOH!!!!!!

If there had been any significant sink I would have been in deep
Kimchee. *Had I been using my checklist this wouldn't have happened.
I was a sloppy pilot and a classic example of a few dumb errors that
combined could have put me in real harms way. *It's very easy to kill
yourself if you aren't on top of your game. *Sloppy is a great way to
describe it.
