If you have a pretty wide take off area, taking off is really not that hard. I've only been at it for a couple weeks and I don't think its near as difficult as people make it out to be. I had , and am still having a little diffulty learning to control the front wheel with my left hand.

I taxied it around a bit. I trimmed is so that when then engine is running faily fast it tracks straight. That way you have to control it more when it is slow, but when it speeds up it tracks staighter. I trim it so it tracks straight, then simply turn the control rod connector on the rudder in or out untill its straight.

In my opinion if you've been flying a few months than you will have no problems taking off. Just add throttle slowy, give a little elevator, and off she goes! Just try to fly up as far as you can before turning. That way if something happens you have room to correct.

I guess landing isn't really that easy if you havn't done it. I'm far from an expert myself. The hardest part is getting it lined up and being at the right speed and altitude at the runway. If you bring it in slow and straight you have it made. At this point even if you do mess up a little it may cost you a prop or possibly damage the wing, but won't destroyed your plane as if you've nosed dived it.

And, what I do is, if I am not satisfied with my approach, simply fire it up and try again untill it looks good.

My friend I guess was kinda my instructor. He talked me through it the first couple of times. So it probably wouldn't hurt to find someone that can help. But in my opion, and I'm sure everyone on here disagrees, no matter how much instruction you get, you don't learn untill you do it. Buddy cords can't even help you land. If you have been flying with your friend for a couple months I am sure you have problaby asked him a billion questions, so you have the knowledge, just apply it.
