Do a bunch of stalls close enough to see them, but a little high, to get yourself very used to how that plane acts when it is to slow.
Balance a stick where the plans show as the other guys have said. Sticks like a little throttle to land anyhow. The elevator speed application does apply but not as much as with a trainer. Fly it down to a low approach, they do not tend to glide in as well as a trainer.
But a stick is a really good plane. Everybody should have at least one! HAVE FUN
