The takeoff's had no noticeable issues other than you'll probably want to give it a smooth acceleration as sometimes got a nose down tendency if I slammed it to full throttle. As for the landing, I always brought it in a bit hot for fear of stalling it out and destroying the retracts (which were always wobbly, as most are) but it's a well flying model so I'd say do what you normally do. Let us know how it went!
