High center of thrust results in a pitch-down moment when accelerating. Counter with Trim or back pressure. Trim to 60% or greater before takeoff. Recommended takeoff thrust setting is 30-40%. Rotate at 190-200 knots. Recommended approach speed is 120-130 knots.

Lore:
The Viper family of single-pilot fighter spacecraft have been a lynchpin of the Colonial Battlestar Fleet since before the first Cylon War. While later models have featured improvements in armor, avionics, armament, and power, no ship is more iconic than the venerable Mark II.
Fast, agile, and deadly; 40 of these ships were included when the battlestar Galactica was prepared as a museum exhibit. Following a surprise attack by the Cylons that disabled ships with modern avionics, those Mark IIs were refurbished and went on to successfully defend the remnant Human Fleet on its journey to Earth.

[Note: Yes, this version has wheels instead of landing skids. I wanted to be able to take off from runways. Maybe I'll get around to custom-making some sweet skids for this, but the part count is lower and usability is higher this way.]
