Default RE: beginner

Iam a beginner and Ijust bought my first RCplane, which happens to be the Hobbyzone Super Cub. Ihave no idea what Iam doing, so Ibasically took it to an open park field by my house and have attempted 3 flights with it. It responds well and Ican attest to the durability of it. Ihave crashed it three times, and two times it did not even have a scratch. None of the crashes were the planes fault, as it was very forgiving and Iwas able to get out of some tight situations by just letting the plane straighten itself out. The third crash was hard into the ground, but it only snapped the tail. Imade a newbie mistake, which was flying the planein a windy situation.The Super Cub is a largeaircraft, but itis very light and not good inwinds above 5mph.Sounds critical, but in actuality I just used some toothpicks and hot glue to get the plane back to great shape. Iwas already told beforehand that Iwould be crashing and fixingmy firstplane a lot, but that is how you learn. Also, the parts for the plane are really cheap, so if you ever break a prop or anything else, it is super easy to get replacements parts online or just about any Horizon based hobby store.
