It is really easy to lift off. If you want to take off like you were on a real runway, just add some wheels. You can make the runway a sub assembly so you can change the plane. Just make sure the plane can run on it's own fuel because it might be too heavy so just hring down the fuel in the runway is at 40 or 20%. Otherwise it is really fun to use. The plane and runway have about the same top speed(500) but you have the accelleration. You can challenge yourself to land on the runway at very high speeds. But at some point, the runway decides to stall and go back to 0mph. Don't worry it dosen't flip over it will keep on going. But that is. Very far along the way. It is actually sorta(not really) easy to land on the runway. I once got so close to landing that just when I hit the water in front of the runway, the runway hit me. I believe you can do it. If you do, tell me. I will soon make this runway fly. For an even greater challenge.
