RE: First Takeoff
Unless you have an incredible amount of thrust I would suggest to use full power for take off. If the engine fails at some point you wont have enough airspeed or altitude to recover from a stall at low level. Let that puppy give you all the horsepower it was designed for then once at a comfortable altitude throttle back to where it feels good for you and maintains level flight at the same time.
