Another video provided in your link was a maiden flight of a KR2 with my
type of design, but the video scared me a heck of a lot when watching the
guy (your friend?) almost lost control on his first take off...?!

I'm not sure Colin posted that video but that it was the next in line
programmed by Youtube. I can't find that video back. Regardless, that
botched takeoff was strictly pilot induced, poor technique. The pilot
never raised the tail to allow the aircraft to reach the proper takeoff
speed but instead it flew off from the three point attitude at a less
than desirable airspeed. Then instead of lowering the nose and letting
the speed build he raised the nose and it mushed back to the runway. He
was considerable lucky not to require a rebuild. Don't let that video
affect your decisions in any way.
