Default Asking for trouble (Flying solo)

Ok here is the question. I have never flown a glo powered RC aircraft and if the wind is slight in the morning i'm going to take my new Boomerang 40 for it's first (hopefully not last) flight.

I have failed to get assistance from anyone within a 4hr round trip drive to help me so i'm on my own.

I have been flying the FMS simulator with the Alpha 40 trainer flight model.

I have run in the engine and tuned as best i can, measured control throws to spec,

I plan on rolling down my flying area and doing a series of small take offs as low to the ground as possible and then back down to the ground, aiming to be only 6" to 1' off the ground.

Any ideas or suggested reading?

Thanks in advance
