Default RE: Runway take off trouble

Normal for most ! Some never get accustomed to it .
It's worse if your club has a "peanut gallery" there all of the time. Not so bad if there are folks there who will help you and allow you to bend the "rules" a little. One of those rules to bend would be allowing you to stand behind your plane to take off and then move behind the flight station to fly and land and do this for a few flights until you become comfortable and then you can take off from the flight station. That is allowed where I fly as long as you are the first up and it is safe to do so.
Try and concentrate on your plane and not worry about the others (have a spotter with you) when flying and landing. Tough to say but try and tune everything else out (except your spotter !)
Otherwise it's stage fright and it should pass after a year or two !
