I am not sifting through all of this again, but I would like to have 1 reason it will fly in 2 sentances. You think prop wash is enough to fly the plane?
1: Because wheels roll freely with little friction, the treadmill cannot restrain the airplane whichever way it moves.

2: If the airplane has enough thrust to takeoff from a regular runway, it can takeoff from the treadmill, no matter which way it moves.
