RE: how to do a good takeoff from the ground??
This is the plan I learned to fly on 2 months ago. I went through the same problem. Check the landing gear and make sure one wheel is not toe in more than the other. Also, The plan will absolutely not (or I can't get it to) takeoff into a cross wind. IT will tun donut after donut every time! The plane needs twice the power it has. It will teach you how to keep from stalling for sure!
