Hi mjd3,
As it turns out, I never pursued full scale flying (too busy with work), so I am not the one to listen to for full-scale flying advice. I have found that everything that they taught me applies amazingly well to R/C, though

You might want to try the level off and acceleration during your soft field take-off technique because without it, you're climbing out just above stall speed. If the engine quits like that, the nose will drop before you can react. It could save your model in the event of engine failure during the climb, plus, it looks cool.
