The only advise I can give you is that you have to keep from getting too attached to any one plane. I have learned to think of planes as disposable items. Everyone I've ever talked to says you will eventually crash everything you own either by pilot error, mechanical, electrical failure or maybe even a mid-air collision. Heck I've seen the most season pilots at my club destroy a plane or two....It happens and its part of the experience of flying.

At this point, I have about 9 planes, mostly slope gliders, a few thermal floaters and and electric zagi. I know each one will eventually meet its demise if I fly them long enough, but thats ok, you can build another and the experience you gain is priceless. Furthermore, I can't wait to move to Bakersfield next year, and then I'll show you how to really crash in style

beat the hobby, dont let it beat you
