Default First Flight Blues

My first flight with a trainer lasted 30 seconds with the trainer "lawn darting" into the ground. Thank goodness for epoxy. What advice can you give me, after I repair the trainer, to get started? The trainer has throttle, ailerons, rudder and elevator. I got into trouble with the ailerons when the plane went upside down as I was trying to gain altitude and panicked trying to give "up" elevator when the plane was upside down when I really was giving "down" elevator and that's why it "lawn darted". Can I disconnect the ailerons and still fly the plane until I figure out the transmitter?

Tally Ho,
