airjockey, im gonna give you the best advice i know and in my opinion i think it is very very good

1.) when it comes to landing, never over control it, many people think it requires precise accurate control but as long as you have a good approach, shut down the engine when its coming in, keep the wings level and just land it as its coming on the stall, you'll know when it is as the elevator will almost lose its ability to control pitch. Never force the plane down, let it lose speed first to get a good landing and a safe one

2.) When you do solo, practise as many approaches and as many touc-and-go's as you can, it gets you more precise with the controls and gets you familiar with landing and taking off more

the above advice has worked great with me, sometimes i now catch the model instead of landing it

remember, though, you shouldn't ever try this unless you have a slow model, the engine has been shut off and you can control the plane very well for landing
