If you will be learning with an instructor, the plane that you have should be OK. If you will be learning on your own, put it away and get yourself a good beginner's electric park flyer. Compared to a beginner's park flyer, your plane is big, heavy, difficult to contol (as any low wing plane), dangerous and will not stand up to the inevitable crashes that beginner's go thru.

Consider the HobbyZone SuperCub for your first plane. Its a terrific beginner's plane that also looks good. Backyard Flyers Magazine called it "The Perfect Beginner Plane".
