it would be a trade in and cash difference... meaning that for what the plane is worth in $ plus cash to cover for a new one... and i dont face plant it into the ground or anything i think it may have been weak when i bought it dunno why but its the part that holds the electric motor connecting it with gears on the back of it then to an axle that runs out in front of the motor to the prop and it cracks right next to the motor... and on the tail the foam is thin and bends eaisly...i have had to repear it once... though my cub is not that beat up everything functions and theres hardly any cosmetic damage except for a small crack in the cowling which ive stopped the spreading of and a little tape on the tail to repair the styrofoam where it tore but other than that i have taken good care of it and i will definately talk to the owner of the hobby shop to see what planes he has, my other two planes are kinda projects just got them at a steal and am planning to fly them when i get a little better at flying one has a cox 0.49 engine on it and is missing just a 3 control horns and 2 push rods, since it is small i doubt i could keep up with it... the other is a stunt plane which is a low wing and i doubt im ready for that its not fully assembled... anyway thanks for the comments they will help me in the choice for a new plane!!!
