RE: Crash on first landing attempt?
With a buddy box and good instructor you won't have a problem. Before you ladn for real though practice landing at 50-75 feet up. Let off the throttle at 100 or 150 feet let in slow down and float down to about 50-75 as if you were landing there then throttle back up and do it again. Too many times I see instructors just say ok land it. Work on slowing it down and see how it handles before bringing it all the way down.
