This particular trainer plane is what my girlfriend bought me about a year ago. She knew Idon't do nitro anymore and the LHS guy of course explained all the bells and whistles with the Anti-Crash Technology and free lipo blah blah blah.

Long story short my stock TX only has a range I'd say of about 150-200 ft MAX. So I have to follow the plane on land or turn it around several times. Also ACT gets confused all the time which side is up and which side is down via the 2 sensors.

Problem is with the crappy FMsystem range ACT will cut your throttle response before you are at a safe altitude! You have to remember to flip the toggle swith to turn off ACTto reactivate throttle and punch it before it stalls out and takes a nose dive.

So this happened:



Looking at the damage...I will need a new fuselage, cowel, and prop Ithink. Which will run me about $50 or so. All servos/radio system/stock brushed motor still work. Should Ijust scrap the plane and look for a better electric trainer? Or should I look into a better radio ANDrebuild the current plane?

I have a 4 channel FMHitec Laser 4 but not sure on radio range. As a beginner pilot which route would you all recommend?
