Default RE: Stick 75 problem

You just learned a valuable lesson, and if it only cost you $60 you got off really cheap. The lesson is twofold: 1. Never fly a plane until you're 100% sure everything on it is working right. 2. Get some instruction if you are a beginner.
Being a little more patient in order to get an experienced pilot to look your plane over and do the first trim flight on it for you would probably have prevented your crash. I hope you had fun with it though and I'll encourage you to stick with it. Save your pennies and buy a quality plane and radio setup that you can trust, and get some help. The hobby is a lot of fun when you're equipment is in good shape and you know what you're doing.
