[8D]Hey troyp

Get a trainer with the biggest wing you can find make sure you follow all instructions to a tee and understand them, make sure you tune it ie- start it, tune it for top end then lift it straight up and it should hold a constant rpm if not tune it tell it does usually richer next taxi it around you field for a couple tanks then sit back and study what you have just done and learned and quit shaking at the knees now when your ready get it up in the air flying about 75ft or so now slow the thottle to about 3\8 and you will be going in a 300ft radius circle keep your alltitude though because this will save you when or if you get in a bind now slow it down tell it is just above a stall and if I know where you are you have ample open spaces so you can bring it down just about anywhere even if your in a pickle and have a rough landing the slower you are going the less damage if any will occur and don't be afraid of killing your engine if you have a problem a good trainer will glide for a long ways and they are hard to stall and make sure it stays close as you can until you get used of it and the more flights you put on the less you will shake.. keep your imput to your ailerons just enough to keep level on approach
Good luck and enjoy this hobby it will last a life time[8D]
