Hello Jet_fans

Well I discovered one problem for the slow acceleration takeoff. When I installed the main retracts I did not check
the angle ( toe-in at more than 6-7 degrees) of the wheels which I think causes drag as you try to speed up on take-off.
I fixed it and taxing / take off was a lot better.
Still playing around with the pipe / turbine seperation to find the optimum trust range ( large loops still a bit sluggish.

Hi antony.
If you visit us this year Tam's Brown bottles (Balashi ) are still in the colder ,we can always open some ( Tam I hope you don't mind )
