RE: Density Altitude
The only negative is that it was a hot florida day, so density altitude was probably in the 1 to 2k area.

RE: Density Altitude
FWIW,
I have seen several Y/A F-18's fly with fan power and none of them seemed to have any problems getting of the ground. Try a longer nose gear strut to get a bit more of a positive angle of attack while sitting on gear.

Good luck,
Joey.
