I think the problem here is Over thinking and over planning.
As I said earlier, I learned to fly by myself. Had I stuck to my plan of High speed taxi runs to “get the feel” of it, I would still be taxiing around.
Fortunately on my first high speed run a guy next to me said, “OK, now give it up elevator.” So I thought, “What the heck” and I did.

If you read my earlier post, I built a plane from a kit and let an “Expert” check out my airplane before I flew it the first time. He crashed it.
The first time I took it out after repairing it, I flew and have been flying ever since.

They respond differently on the ground, or water than in the air. (in fact, I think it’s easier to fly than to taxi) So I say, if you’re going to fly, then FLY. You can get all the advice in the world and read a million books (or the 7 pages in this thread), but until you actually give it up elevator, it will never fly and you will never be a pilot.
The longer you put it off, the harder it will be.

From what I can tell, it has been over a year since this thread started, so that really looks like we are beyond the point of no return, or the Point of no fly anyway.

However one final bit of advice. If you do in fact have a first flight, and if you crash, don’t post the video. All it will do is allow the naysayers a chance to say, “I told you so.” But if it's a successful flight, then be sure and brag about it
