I cheated. I learned the RC side of flying using gliders. You never, ever run out of airspeed. You also learn to manage energy, so you learn how to trade airspeed for altitude and how to land wherever you may be when you run out of both altitude and airspeed. You don't have an engine to blame with gliders.

When electing to fly in a manner that places the aircraft so low to the ground that a safe landing will be impossible in the event of an engine faailure, or when hovering or performing other 3d activities that removes any chance of saving the plane in the event of an engine failure, you knowingly and willfully accepted the risks associated with flying that way. if something happens to the engine a crash becomes the fault of the owner, not the engine, since the owner placed the aircraft in a position from which a safe landing could not be made.

It makes people feel better to say the engine caused the plane to crash but the truth was the crash was induced by pilot error. He made bad decisions.
