That's why I've never really understood the "$2000 R/C airplane." Wow, that is just too much to risk totally losing, I'm with Pmerrit, stay around $300/plane and it's a much more enjoyable hobby. But whenever I've lost one, I found another hobby for a while, or focused on work that needed to be done until I felt comfortable going back to flying. Nowadays I mostly fly Z-foam electrics which are very crash resistant and easy to repair, so not a lot of crash depression happening anymore.
