In the beginning when you are making your first attempts...

1) Do not fly it if it is reasonably windy. Be patient and save that challenge untill you get the chance to get some experience.
2) When you think you have found enough room to fly it go find a place 10 times that size. You will need it to make big slow turns. Save the sharp manouvers untill you get some experience.
3) Hand launch gently into the wind (gentle breeze) with a level toss. Tossing it upwards will only stall the plane and make it crash faster.
4) Ensure the plane is properly balanced. If the instructions for the plane do not cover this then please come back here and ask.
5) There is always more so I will let someone else input ther .02
