My super bandit is using a P70 (17.5# of thrust). The dry weight is 22#. It carries 1 gallon of kerosene so the takeoff weight is around 30#

I usually apply full throttle with the brakes and then release it. It needs 100+ yards to takeoff. It takes half a circuit to get up to speed but otherwise, it flies well. I hope the reference point helps.
