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!

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.'

Agree, I have postet the video of my SM 1:7 before, but here it is again as a reminder of what is actually needed. Turbine is JetsMunt XBL 140.....
