Any first timer (with no instructor) that has used a flight simulator has a much greater advantage over one that has never used one if they are going to try it on their own.

All there is is up, down, left or right. And when the plane is coming towards you just move the right stick towards the lowest wing and you will level it out.

Get her going straight down the runway using the rudder for steering and when you think it has enough ground speed for lift off, pull back gradually on the elevator and you'll be airborne.

Don't yank the elevator back on your initial liftoff and you'll be fine.

If you get into any trouble, just cut back on the throttle.

Now feed them dogs and lets get this plane up in the air! I'm tired of waiting for the results on the maiden flight.

good luck
