Default planeHobby source patriot

I just got a patriot as my first rc plane and am trying to learn to fly myself. My last flight was about 30 seconds and I launched fine but after a climb the plane banked to the left and nosed into the ground. After 5 attempts I have broken 3 props and the last crash I broke the wing. This plane is probably not the best plane to start out with but it is what I have to work with. I am downloading the FMS program in hopes that I will get something out of it. Does anybody have any tip for teaching yourself to fly these planes? I have flown planes with wires and real planes but this plane is not very forgiving. I have tried taking off from the ground but this does not work as well as hand launching, any tips here? I always try flying in dead calm wind but the out come is the same. I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks
