Take off speed

Hi Guys. Just wondering if you can help me with this:

I have created a WWI SE5A fighter, that when in OFP standard took off sluggishly but did take off.

Now in Res the plane will get to a max of 85kph and not raise the tail or even look as if it wants to take off. The overallweight is 800kg (possibly a bit light, but I've experimented with different mass weights and adding and subtracting weights from the nose, tail etc).

The plane handles well in the air, but the takeoff speed thing bothers me.

well if its a jet, set the mass everywhere to 13,000. it might work fine in airports like Nogova.

if your going to be changing the weight mass to around 13K then your going to have to change the take off speed rate at around 120 kpm/mph

I've tried increasing the mass but the plane slows down even more. So I raised the speed to 300 kph and the plane now takes off on its own without me having to use the elevator to climb. Unrealistic top speed now, but at least it takes off:)
