When I was learing to land about the best thing someone told me was "remember elevator controls speed and engine will controls altitude". The more elevator you use the slower the plane will fly, but too much elevator and you will stall. If you need to gain a little alt. a small burst of throttle will do. Ailerons to keep the wings level. I also think that a trainer is one of the hardest planes to land without bouncing, the gear is made to bounce to avoid damageing the plane when you are learning to land. However I also agree with the practice idea. KEEP WITH IT YOU WILL GET IT!!!!!!! Good luck hope this helps.
