Takeoffs:
First off the Flight Model here has a steap learning curve and it takes a bit to get used to.
Here is what I do to get off the ground.
On the runway I hold down the spacebar (wheel-brakes) until the Engine(s) start to pull the plane. I then let go the spacebar and correct my line if need-be with the rudder, after I'm straight and gaining in speed I'll push forward on the stick
*very gently* (nose-down) until the back wheel comes off the ground and I'm rolling level. Near the end of the runway I center the stick which in most cases will cause the plane to lift off, others require a *gentle* pull back. As soon as I know I'm up, the gear come up, then any flaps if applicable.
At this point you should be gaining alt. There is something you should be listening for....the stall horn, its a buzzing sound, as it gets louder the higher your chances are of flopping over and crashing. If you hear the stall horn you may be pulling back too far, ease it forward until your in level flight or until the horn stops, as you ease it forward you'll gain speed and the horn should decrease in volume. If it is still loud in level flight and you have not engaged Emergency Power, now would be a good time to do that "P", as well as a little nose-down to help gain speed.
Any additions guys?
I hope this helps.
