b,

Sounds like everyone here is right on. Do all that stuff, then if your're scared to fly it, when you go back to the club get an experienced flyer to look at it. Explain what its doing. Maybe have him stand out next to you on the pad while you fly. They'll figure it out

You know, those guys that sit around the picnic table telling war stories

1. Check CG, start out slightly nose heavy

2. Make sure you dont have to much throw, if computer add some expo to ailerons and elevator and put on low rates.

3. do radio check again

Good luck!
