Trim really helps your life. I've nosed over and tipped backwards(in a plane with tricycle gear) a couple of times when I've forgot the elevator trim to a wrong position(it's on a wheel in the throttle).
One more thing: Never use more than combat flaps when taking off from solid ground. In a Mustang you shouldn't use any flaps at all, just take off. Carriers are different, since you need full flaps with some planes.
