Petromat has more drag than a hard surface, but it's more noticable on landing than takeoff. Once you start rolling the drag is minimal. When we have dry conditions (like recently) the material under the mat gets harder and further reduces the drag. I hold brake and throttle up and still have to use the whole thing for my F-15 (1/9.5 scale but over 30 lbs.). The runway is actually about 520' long. Current weather forecast shows about 8mph, mostly North. That is the best condition for maximizing the takeoff since there is no corn to worry about clearing on the North end of the runway on takeoff. Look at the weather report before you come. If there is some Northerly wind I think you'll be OK, if it's out of the South you would have a problem.
