Same time, don't get the airplane off the ground until you're ready for it. I know as i did it in the sim and it didn't end well. So, i wouldn't pull up until i was "under full control" it's much easier than fighting the airplane. Same time, don't saw @ the pedals to get the right amount of rudder, stick some in, see what happens, add a little more or less pressure as needed, but if you have to much, then not enough, and then to much again, you'll bounce all over the place, and before you know it, you're just trying to keep the plane in the air, much less on a heading. If you're doing a good climb say 3-4k ft/min 5k will come up fast. Trust the flight director, and just fly the box (airplane) it's really that simple. Keep your head on straight, study hard, and study everyday before you ever see the box, and you shouldn't have problem the first
