I will give you my 2 cents for what it's worth. The above posters are right about everything they have said, but don't let this intimidate you just stay calm and cool and all will go well.

This bird takes off well but be prepared to add some rudder input, on landings don't be afraid to slow the plane down it will land very slow and it won't tip a wing. Just land it like a trainer with about 2 clicks of power and just apply slight pressure on the elavator stick and it will float in for a nice 3 point landing.

When I flew my first 1/4 scale airplane I had a smile 1/2 a mile wide when I got done. Bigger airplanes fly alot better once you get past the pucker factor. Good Luck with your first flight.
