Default advice please on first flight(s)

Hello,

I bought my first RC plane today a FightBird, wicked little plane,
looks great I just can't stop crashing it, took it to a missive
field today and crashed and crashed it until the wing broke in half.

Came home stuck it back together again to make the wing stable but
now all I need is someone to say what I am doing is OK, sort of
reasurance.

I think my main problem is fear, fear of loosing it, when I see it
take off and zoom away from me I think I panic and turn left or
right really hard and then it looses control and crashes in to the
ground with a really big thump.

I mean how far is to far?

Does anyone have any advice for me on the best way forward to loose
my 'fear' should I just bit the bullet and let the darn thing zoom
away then turn a bit at a time, you know and be more confident???

Any help would be appreciated.
