Find the local R/C club, and ask for help. There's usually at least one member who LIKES helping newbies.

I keep telling local newbies to CALL ME and I'll come, but, just 3 have taken me up on it in the last 3 or 4 years.... (and all ended up getting thier problems solved in one visit.)

The state of the ARF is now such that I recommend to ALL beginners to get one. I haven't seen the one you have, except in ads. (which always look good...) But I doubt you'll have too much problem with it. ARFs are now tending to be as light, or LIGHTER than kit-built trainers, and they tend to be straighter than what a beginner builds, which means they'll fly better.

Expect the plane to need extra fuelproofing at the firewall. Practically all of the ARFs still need that. Use a thin coat of 30 minute epoxy painted over all exposed wood, (around the engine compartment... before mouning the engine mount) and then scrape off as much as you can with an old credit card. If the engine mount bolt holes are pre-drilled (maybe even the engine is mounted... if its a deluxe all in one package deal.) put little cottonballs in the holes while applying the epoxy, and pull the cotton (soaked in epoxy...) out before the epoxy sets up. (prevents glue sealing the holes... which is a pain to fix.)
