Default Crash and burn in under three seconds.

Well my first flight didn't go as planned. I had the Judge profile plane from hobbylobby.com. Guess I don't know what I am doing. I gave her some throttle till it was pulling in my hand, then give it a gentle toss. Went out about 10 feet and nose dived into the ground tearing up the front of the plane beyond repair. I did put CG at 2.5 inches as the directions stated. I think it was just due to the fact I thought I knew what I was doing. It all happened so fast. So now I sit here and wonder weather to order another Judge or seek for a more beginner type plane that my radio and power equipment will work on. I have the electron 6 Hitec receiver, 4 H55 servos, an 18amp Jeti speed control, an AXI 2212/26 motor and electrifly 3 cell Li-Po rated at 1500mah.
Any thoughts on what to do?
I think I would have had better luck taking off like a normal plane rather than the toss. Maybe a bit quicker on the elevator too.
