I just made tests and I have no issues with the jets. Make sure to increase power slowly. Too fast and the engine will catch fire.

Also, I tend not to add more than 80% power, to avoid overheating.

Acceleration is slow, and jerking the plane off the runway won't help. I pull back on the stick just enough to raise the nose. The plane will roll on the main wheels until it's "ready" to fly, and will lift off on its own at the right speed. Raise gear immediately, lower the nose to accelerate and raise flaps in increments.
