My wife bought me the Dynam PBY from Nitroplanes for Christmas. (It came in two days and was really well packaged and so far it all works as advertised.) It's really cool. When I flip it in the drink (it's a flying boat, for the uninitiated) and the esc's or motors, or servos quit, I'll know it was my fault and I'll fix or replace them with my own dough, because the replacement parts will be sub-standard compared to what I can buy at the store.  And, it'll be my fault that they quit.<div>
</div><div>When I stuffed my Park Zone Bf-109 (difficult to fly for a new to R/C guy, I knew that going in but even if I didn't it would still be true and my ultimate responsibility), it was pretty smashed, many pieces, but I glued it back together with 5 minute epoxy and flew it more. When I cratered it at the paved field, it needed parts, all available from Park Zone. I bought what I wanted, fixed the rest, painted it a little to take the edge off of the repairs, and flew it more.</div><div>
</div><div>Moral of the story, this ain't a computer game, it's toy airplanes and they get smashed. Fix or replace. Welcome to the jungle, baby! Buy from China on the cheap or buy from Illinois for a little bit more, it's your choice.</div><div>
