The cobra will take off on the runway but it takes a little longer to get airborne because it is a very slow plane due to the thick wing so it takes a while to get enough ground speed. But you should expect alot from this airplane!! And that's not an understatement!! This airplane does things that its not made to do. But then again if it is to heavy than it wont do jack!! So how much does this thing weigh???
