On my first flight I wont have a instructor around me or noone to take over and save the plane, so what should I look out for. As soon as I take off I will make sure it flies straight if not, adjust the controls from trims and what else?
Stop! Don't try it yet.[sm=drowning.gif]
Pull the LA 40 out and buy any old trainer for it.
Set the beautiful Strega aside until you buy a stronger engine for it.
In the meanwhile, practice all you can with the trainer.
Only then, go for it.
Regarding learning the tricks of combustion engines, find experienced help, and more important,
be extremely careful around that spinning propeller!!
