Default new plane and first flight

hey guys, I am new to this so I could use some advice. I bought a parkzone J3 cub on 02-08-05. I tried hand launching it twice, both times it nose dived into the ground. Unfortunately it bent the prop shaft. It's electric by the way. I then attempted to straighten the prop and roll launch it. That didn't work either. Now it goes about 10 feet and spins out. Am I applying too much throttle to soon or what. On hand launching it, should i toss it harder or what. I replaced the prop shaft and gear box, 7.99. not too bad. I need some help I am gun shy and don't want to throw it to risk crashing again helpppppppppppppppp.
