I suggest that when it comes to landing to start by doing some low passes at about 1/4 throttle. Keep bringing the plane lower to the ground to get used to it being lower and don't force the landing. If it starts looking ugly pull up and go around and try again. The main thing is to get a good feel for the plane don't over work the sticks and just let it glide in and flare up right at the end.
