Default Do I worry too much?

Flew the typhoon last night. Had a friend hold it for hand launch. Was not as nervous as when I soloed it for the first time. First flight went really well. For the second flight, my friend had hos up in the air, so I held it with just a little over half throttle and let it go. took off nicely, but when it got accross the field it seemed like it just wanted to roll and roll. I was able to land it okay, a hard landing, but none the less landed it. The Typhoon is a 3d plane, and is very quick to repsond to control input. Which in this case I think it saved me from crashing. I didn't falter, I put it right back in the air and the third flight went much better. My friend held the plane for hand launch this time. I love the plane because it can go fast and slow. can almost just set it down gentle on the rear landing gear for landing. Anyway, the plane is actually meant for an intermediate to expert flyer, and I'm wondering if its just too much plane for me at the moment. My friend says I'm flying way better than he did when he first started. And the fact that I'm flying this plane so well, is a testament to that. But I worry that I'll crash everytime I take off. Friend says that every plane has a definate life expectancy and that I shouldn't worry about crashing so much. I know that eveytime I go up I learn something new, and that is what makes this hooby so great! But need to figure out away to destress about crashing and just fly!! If I crash I crash. So is he right? Do I worry too much? Should I just fly them like I stold them? I'm thinking my worries are normal, that the worry will pass with experience.
