Hi RC Fanatic, I have the same airplane as yours the World T-34 and have had reasonable success with it for a few years now as a warbird racer (RC Pro racing). I use a OS ,55AX with an Ultra Thrust pipe. It is indeed a great landing airplane and I think you will find it also is quite capable of those long slow rotation takeoffs too with no mods at all.. As noted it is necessary to have the stoke nose strut extended as far as it will go. I even use those tiny wheels since they are legal under the rules and I wanted them as small as possible.
Enjoy its a great airplane
John
