cessnas are easy planes to fly. high wing, flat botom airfoil, not too heavy, etc. however, trainers are designed to fly with a lot less airspeed than cessnas. one reason being deadsticks. when you are a new pilot, you won't be nearly as efficient at bringing it back. a good pointer for any new plane, if you have somebody else fly it first, watch them. second of all, with any new plane, you want to get it up to a higher speed than you may think is necessary to take off, without hiting the end of the runway. that means that you bring it to the back of the runway, slowly advance the throttle, and you should be at full throttle with the plane going pretty fast by 3/4 through the runway, and you should then pull it up into a shallow climb to make sure it lifts of okay, and then keep applying up till you get to about a 45 degree angle. that is a good climb rate, but your plane shouldn't be so underpowered it can't make that climb. you shouldn't have any trims to do if somebody else flew it first. with that set up, in the event that you have a deadstick or any other problem at the end of the runway, yuo have both altitude and speed. it is something you just need to learn to do. asking somebody is the best way to know, because hurt pride is not a good thing, and a lack of confidence is derasticly worse.
