This F-15 can be slowed down to 40/60 prop trainer speed for landing. 100 meters runway is plenty with 22lbs thrust provided that you don't have obstacle at the end. Try this short field takeoff technique: hold the elevator up at least 50% on takeoff roll and the nose will rise shortly then you can release the up elevator for shallow climb to build speed. With this technique, the F-15 will not "jump" off the runway but rather climb out at slow and controllable speed. This is spectacular when the liftoff is right in front of you!!....big and slow...great for photo shots
