Jitters?  What jitters.

Just kidding.  We all have them, always with new planes.  Everyone is different but for me, it isn't about flying skill.  Not that I'm an expert or first class pilot.  Quite the contrary but my style has little pucker factor.  I comfortably stay within my capabilities.

For me, the jitters come from the "what did I forget" category.  It is the fear that during the build process, I made some horrible mistake that unbeknownst to me, there is a fatal flaw in the plane that has rendered it completely unflyable.  Of course the only way to know that is to fly it.  I'll have this vision that as soon as the wheels lift off, the plane with flip over on its back and splatter into a zillion pieces.

The good news is that has never happened.  Checking, rechecking, re-rechecking has helped keep my maidens pretty uneventful.

I guess the point is that if you are like most of us, the jitters come with the territory.  Just work through them and quell them as best as you can.
