Have a pilot with Nitro model experience maiden your plane or at least stand by.

What have you flown before?

His only other plane was a typhoon 2 3d, apparently electric powered.

The Pulse will behave differently in that it is faster and heavier both which WILL effect the flying. You do have SOME flying experience so the transition should be brief.

PLEASE try to find an experienced Nitro pilot to get this in the air, at least the first time.

try for a smooth take off, then get some air. once your up high. set your trims for level flight with throttle at about half or alittle more

Good luck on the maiden. The Pulse is a terrific sport plane, honest with no bad traits. Having said that, I don`t think it`s the best FIRST nitro plane. Like others have said, do yourself ( and the plane ) a favor and get an experienced pilot to take it up thhe first time and help you trim it.

While the Pulse is EASIER to fly in many respects to the Typhoon 2, it does have to be set up and trimmed out.

As everyone here is telling you, get an experienced eye to look over your plane and trim it out for you.
