I agree it looked sluggish with the K210 but every test the is off concrete or bitumen runways why don't they test off grass as well it would have taken a lot longer to rotate... I don't fly concrete, bitumen runways maybe once a year the rest is grass.... That's my two cents

But it looks awesome love the F4's

Sluggish? The ground rolls weren't terribly long, the initial climbs didn't look shallow to me at all, they were gear-down rest flights, and one can plainly hear the power reducing quite a bit each time for most of the rest of the flight.

my 2 cents is to wait and see before trying to read too much into those vids.

Im thinking this plane needs some serious push ! Twin 180's or 140's would wake it right up. My 1/7 flys on a P200 and its an awesome combo because I fly it off grass. Two 100s in a model this big ? I don't think so!

1/5th scale would be to big. I don't see anyone coming out with one that big. I believe the new Skymaster one is 1/6.

One K310 would fly it just fine.

I will be getting one of these unless BVM comes out with theirs first.

You are probably right Andy it will a perfect match for it because the production model will be heavier

My old man flew F-4's. They took all year (and about 200 miles) to take off. Cracks me up that a model that doesn't have 1:1 or a 50 degree takeoff are considered 'marginal.'
