I think flyinrog has the best, and most inexpensive, solution if you are indeed that isolated. Keep practicing on the sim, and get an inexpensive GWS or E-Flite trainer type. Much better to crash and re-crash on the cheapie, until you get the hang of flying well enough to fly the 60 size. You not only have to worry about getting it off the ground, but getting enough altitude on an un-trimmed plane to allow you to trim it for straight and level; otherwise, you'll be fighting an out-of-trim plane, and it will double your frustration.

If you have no other options, get as high as you can comfortably see the plane, on the calmest day you can pick. I'm assuming you have read about charging batteries, fueling, pre-flighting, starting procedures, etc. Once you are off the ground at a "safe" altitude, throttle back to about half, give yourself plenty of time to think, and just practice how to control the plane and make simple turns. It might actually help if there's a slight breeze for landing, always land into the wind if possible. Control attitude (nose up/down) with your elevator, and altitude with your throttle on approach. Between fast and bouncy, or slow and smooth, go for fast and bouncy the first few landings, don't risk a stall so close to the ground until you are comfortable in the plane's response to control inputs.

There's so many little things that a post could look like a small book. Although I have found sim time to be fun, and I have picked up a few things from one, it (to me) is severely lacking when it comes to learning to fly solely from using the sim. Good Luck, let us know how the maiden goes.
