Find a friend who flies and have them help you make sure your plane is set up right. Balance and trim can be the difference between flight and crashing. They can also give you pointers on how to improve.

What Bicks and LitterBug said.

I'd also like to add that learning with wrong and/or badly tuned plane is like trying to learn to ride a horse using rodeo bull.
What plane did you build?

get a cheap 2 channel plane on amazon to practice with, or something with a stabilizer to help you learn the controls and orient yourself to coming and going while revering the rudder control.
i started with something like these:
ref=sr_1_12
ref=sr_1_26
then moved on to these:
ref=sr_1_23
ref=sr_1_19
then built my first flite test airplane
