flying is easy , landing is hard. Don't get ahead of your self.
I set the TX on the ground after i trim for level flight, when teaching my kid to fly.
To get him out of the fear of flying.

My instuctor bacially handed me the TX when the model was 5 ft of the deck on final approch.
To get me over the knee jerk.lol The plan landed itself.

it's doing it consistanctly. Flying over the flight line in a straight path, doing proceedure turns
from left and right. lower and lower. Then you'll get a cross wind going eventually.
I was taught to land via the trim.lol When i get to landing, my instructor will instruct me.
There's little hints, he'll give me. it's easier to landing when the model is flying away from me.
Slow down and go around a couple of times so your speed preception adjust.
take off up wind and land down wind.
There's a fence the gose around my flying field..everyone cliped it or met it.
There also depth perception oneside has darker shadows.
I have a better chance if I walk towards the fence as the model is making it's last trun of the proceed trun.
This way the model will be flying away from me as it lands, also I won't over shoot.

however landing a flat bottom floater is onething. Landing a brick is another.
Make small transition, if you go low wing from high wing
Go low wing with a straight cord wing such as a 4* as a second model.
Otherwise you'll have a better understnading of a snap roll if you get a Cap232 or a modle with simular wings.
War birds will also have a heavier wing load than a cap or extra
