I forget what kind of engine you're using, but I would not hang a nitrous system on anything used for an airplane. These engines are already taxed to the maximum....there's no point in begging them to blow up. I've heard a lot of stories about people melting engines with nitrous over the years. If what you are building bears any resemblance to a KR, takeoff is not the limiting factor...it's the landing distance. Better to spend your effort on a big drogue chute, which is not a stellar idea either. Sounds like you need a different airport, or a different airplane, if you have problems with the takeoff distance. KR's easily burn up at least twice the distance landing as they do on takeoff, unless you're using a 1600cc VW or something. Just my two cents worth, but I know a little something about engine limitations and their failures...
