Larger, heavier, more fuel, same power, lower stall speed. This version of the Dreamglider is quite a bit longer than the original, it also has a better designed wing giving it a minimum landing speed of 190mph down from the 240mph of the first model. Its just as fast but needs a bit more runway for take-off, strangely even though its stall speed is low its take-off speed is nearly 270mph! But it reaches these speed quickly so dont worry about short runways, not only is it able to land at 190mph its equiped with thrust reversers. To give you an idea of how well they work, I accelerated both the dreamglider-1 and -2 to 150mph and applied brakes, the -2 is at a full stop when the -1 is just starting to slow down! Did i mention its nearly 30,000lbs heavier? Yea im proud of this beast.

@samove5 Phisics my friend
@SemedianIndustries Wow! Thank you very much for that advice. I was so confused how I managed to make the other one take off quicker with a worse wing but now I see I accidentally put the pivoting point forward and so it easily lifted.
It takes that speed to take off because the landing is too far back, it must be as close as possible to the CoL
