And I'm guessing you were teaching your daughter at the time? The manufacturers generally know what they are doing and how they have designed their planes to fly. Me personally, I don't see anything to brag about from a plane that has crashed a lot. In my book, a success story is a flyer who gets a plane and learns to fly it, maybe has a mishap now and then but generally learns to control it and land it competently. The traditional trainers will make that possible.
