I wouldn't put the TT in the air yet...
a flame out on take off would be the end of the plane
it's not going to be easy to repair like a wood trainer.
try looking a the SPAD section..maybe you can get some ideas.
you can even make a plane from card boards if you have the know how.
you can even use a couple of yard sticks as a fuselage.
it might be a brick....but it's a tool
a duraplane is only out of PVC water sprout and an alinumiun tail boom.

reserch on flight theary might help also.
more reserch on r/c flights,radio signals, nitro engines, and etc

viedo game, not the best thing in the world
but at least you would get the feel of what the right stick
would be like. older micro soft flights sim are only $10 u.s

in r/c...your not sitting in the cockpit with all the instruments.
beats me...what air speed i land at ?
and i can't feel the wing's root shacking before the tips stall in r/c

it can be a very dangerous situation..
lord forbid if the prop should bite you.
how far is the hospital?

other factors....
little things like...should you take off up wind or down wind ? (up)
the posistioning of the sun.(behind)
why do i have to get up in the early morning to go flying? (less wind)
are the ailerons control different if the plane is inverted? (no)
what is the right thrust for? (enigne's torque)
why do i to hold the air plane nose up and tune the engine? (set for flight altutitude)
you i lean or richen the engine on a cold day? (richen)

but if you're up to it...
your brain needs input from the controls to strat with.
it will adjust accrodly in time....that's why an instructor or sim are needed.

the problem for beginners are to over control of the sticks or to much input.
panic and over input. pull up to stall even more instead of gaining air speed
or add power.
lift theary will help you ...wind over the flying surface to generate lift.
from the prop or gravity

the sticks will feel very sensitive at first.
pretend like your driving on a freeway....no evasive manuvers.
my instructor showed me how input was required....i couldn't even tell if his thumb
was moving.lol

make pre flight inspections

what ever you do....don't panic
try to keep the plane in front of you at all time.
let the plane claimb to 200-300 ft..don't pull too much on the elevators.

minor input to (ailerons)bank the plane . make the trun in segments (big beuatiful truns)
add a little elevator to retain altitude. breath as you doinmg this
when the nose of the air is pionting to you.
TRUN THE STICK IN THE SAME DIRECTION THE WING IS DIPPING to level the plane.
you are not sitting in the cockpit... don't try to figurd it out

lower the throttle to cruzing speed ,under 1/2
now that you slow everthing down
with plenty of altitude...trim the plane for level flight.
if you're brave....put the tx down and watch the plane fly 200-300 yards
you can eat lunch if you have a senior kedet

with a self recovery air foil
if set for level flight. let the wing do its job ..you must have plenty of altitude thou.

continue to fly in an oval or big rectangular pattern wiht plenty of altitude
the pattern should always be in front of you.
if you are making left truns..then stay with left truns. do this as many times
as you need ..you should have 20-30 flight time if set on cruzing speed

wiht that pattern...try make the plane fly over the land zone when the in
the straight path of the pattern.

lower the altitude as you get more comportable

the straight flight path over the landing zone is to set you up for landing
you can pretend you're making landing approches 200-300 in the air.

when attempting landing approches...set the throttle trim on HIGH
do this when the plane is still 200-300 ft high, not while it's on it's last leg.
some people set the elevator trim down a little at this piont

lower the alutitude before you the get to the last 2 truns.
cut the throttle after you complete the last trun..
level the wing...
use the thrttle trim to reduce power wiht out killing the engine
it easiser if you let the plane get beyound you or (the nose going away from you)
let the plane fair itself in....pull the elevator a little ,little bit if you need to
the stick might move 1mm if that much.
stall the wing when 1-2 ft off the ground (pull elevator)

you can also abort the landing if the aprroch is bad.
ADD POWER, NOT UP elevator when air speed is low.

good luck and have fun
