If you don't have anyone nearby and have to or want to go it alone then maybe you should get a pusher /glider plane. It has the motor mounted up high, is launched by hand and belly landed and if crashed the motor will ususlly be OK .
This one is made by Multiplex who makes very, very strong foam planes plus you can add ailerons to it.
