Default landing gear for the Sky Scooter Pro 2?

On a previous thread I had mentioned that I'm new to the hobby and decided to start with the Sky Scooter Pro 2. Long story short, In an attempt to get it into the air, I stalled it and it came back down and landed on it's nose. Now I have to take it apart and see if I can fix it. It no longer throttles up very well.

As I analyze my efforts to fly, I'm wondering if I wouldn't have had better success if I didn't have to hand launch the plane. If it had landing gear, I could get the plane up to speed, increase the elevators slightly with the trim control, and hopefully, the plane would start its ascent.

As a newbie, I hand launched the plane and perhaps got over worried that it would hit the ground before flying away so I pulled up too hard on the stick.

What are your thoughts? Should I try to attach wheels to my plane? If so, any recommendations on landing gear?

I appreciate any comments made .
