A lot of times park fliers don't pay much attention to the WIND direction. You need to be sure to take off INTO the wind and "DO NOT " pull the plane off to soon, let it get it's speed up.
After take off DON'T fight the plane just take it up high and then trim it. When it's trimed, fly a few approaches about 30 / 40 feet up to get a feel then when you get ready to land " land INTO the wind " don't try floating it in, keep just a little throttle on to maintain " forward speed " but control the flying speed with the elevator. ( throttle management )
But as said above, if you can, find someone with glow experience to assist. GOOD LUCK !!!! ENJOY !!! RED
