Rotate Off Ground is your take-off distance.

Can also mean Rise Off Ground, but I prefer Rotate. That's just because I'm plane nuts :roflmao:

I think it only matters if you're in the way :-)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_(aviation)
In aviation, rotation refers to the action of applying back pressure to a control device, such as a yoke, side-stick or centre stick, to lift the nose wheel off the ground during the takeoff roll. Proper rotation is important for safety reasons and to decrease takeoff distance.

Rise is mainly used by the RC guys, where Rotate is used by general aviation. The point at which you rotate, you rise off the ground, unless you don't have enough airspeed, then you just "pop a wheelie".

ROW= Rise off water
ROS= Rise off snow (for those of you that fly off snow with ski's)
ROG= Rise off ground

Those are the basic common definitions that are used by rc pilots

V11t check this thread for coomon accronyms:

As you can see from the other examples, you can call it what ever you want.

Rotation can also mean going from a horizontal to an angled asscent, in which case can be achieved with more thrust.

Not a problem...there is a lot of info in the general section that can answer/cover all the basics and then some (props and ESC's explain and such) that will help you and then of course you can ask questions on anything that might not be clear and I will be happy to help (as will everyone else). The treads are a great resource for those times that you need an answer right then.

I'd rather rotate then wait for it to rise, as I'm not a baker.
