So awesome to see you've made the transition from 2-3 planes per trip to the field, to 2-3 batteries!
Your flying looks a lot smoother now and I'll ask YOU why you think that is.... I found that I was pretty heavy handed just tossing the models around the air in the beginning. Then once I learned to relax a bit and just let the darn thing fly I had much better luck.
The thing about just learning to do standard circuits is soon you'll start "flying the plane" rather than reacting to it.
Start by practicing landings, reduce throttle and just watch the sink rate. Then give it more throttle, circle around and do it again... Start nudging it closer and closer to you or a point you pick on the ground to land at. Try to get her to touch down right at the point you pick (don't forget to account for the final flare...) then you'll be really flying the plane and not have to walk as far as a bonus!
And always, if you're too high/fast add throttle and go around!
If you want to postpone the corsair build until next month, that's fine by me, as I said I've got my own edge to build and your videos are making me itching to get at it!
