Hello All
I know these forums are mostly reserved for discussions about true R/C aircraft, but I hope you'll indulge me and the problem i'm having with my "toy" airplane.
Not having ever flown an R/C plane before I went out and bought one of these:

I figured it was an inexpensixe and safe way to get my feet wet in the hobby. After several days of bad weather I finally got a chance to take it out and give it a try. I promptly crashed the thing, several times.
Not sure exactly what I was doing wrong. With each attempt the plane behaved in the same manner. A slight turn to the right and then nose into the dirt. No matter what I did with the controls I ended up in the ground. I finally had to give up as the nose busted completely off. It's repaired now, but I don't want a repeat of my first attempt, so I need some advice on what to do to correct the problem.
The instructions for this thing are written in Chinese with a very bad English translation and are nearly useless. AS far as I can tell by the pictures i'm doing everything right, it just doesn't want to fly.
My wife says I can't buy any more planes until I learn to fly this one, so my future in the hobby rests soley in the hands of whoever out there can tell me how to get off the ground.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
Scott
