Default First flight - Sky Fly - need help

I took my sky fly by hobbico out for the first time yesterday. Hand launch and it took off gained altitude and i turned it a few times... then had a rough landing... next launch i went up and drilled it after making a couple turns... broke the wing... yuck. This can be glued and taped from what i have read... --What type glue?? the wing is vinyl covered foam.

Also i need some tips on flying. The plane was moving too fast for me at full throttle... how much throttle could i cut back on without losing altitude? also, I believe the mistake i made was to pull on the rudder too hard and i turned too hard... I dont know if its the way the plane reacts...slow from inputs or what... but i should have known better... I know you are supposed to go easy on rudder...and give it some elevation... but i may be overkill... the fly zone has a beginner setting on the transmitter that adds elevator when making a turn... i may have also been hitting the elevator too...

Any flying help is appreciated.
