Your extension for the front wheel appears to be a bit extreme. As was said above you only want a few degrees of positive angle of attack. I don't think that front wheel will stay in place twith that long of a wire stretching it out in front of the plane. I t looks like it will want to swing around to the rear of the plane pretty quickly, or at best cause the plane to verr right or left during a takeoff roll. Any extension you add to the front wheel needs to be in line with the original position of the front wheel. You probably only need to add a 1/2" or so to the the front landing gear to get the plane to take off. This could be done by switching to a larger diameter wheel.
