Default RE: First speed plane

Vicman.

When you say you have rudder mixed with Elevator, doesn't that make the plane turn goofy?

Very rarely is rudder needed on these things, but it is very necessary on takeoff. I normally start with a little extra rudder throw, and keep backing it off until full right rudder stick makes a perfectly straight takeoff (into the wind).
