I agree with what Minn is saying. There are some people that like to maiden their own planes but I don't. You could get a more experienced flyer to maiden it and trim it out then hand you the controls. Like Minn said, then you know it flies and won't be as worried. Also get someone to check it out before it's first flight. You might miss something in the set up that will be noticed by someone else. I've seen that happen over and over where I fly. Yesterday at the field one of the guys had switched a plane to a new radio and had a control surface going backwards. Well he took it up and dumped it into the ground. Had someone else checked it out that may not have happened.
