It will turn with just airlerons the elevator keeps it from lossing altitude during the turn and for tighting a steeply banked turn.

however from the description of you first flight I would strongly suggest getting help from an instructor.. It sounds to me that you used up all that planes luck getting on the ground with only a broken prop.

It could have been and might still be much worse without help.

Sims are great but don't take the place of a good instructor
