Default RE: Crash a week

Well, I have a couple of trainers lying around and a new, not flown yet Sig Kadet Senior too but I think an out and out break just might be the thing for now. I was pretty tore up over the Extra. I called that one "Big Red" and tried all summer to like it. One issue after another with that plane. I finally had it flying like an extra and was really starting to enjoy it when it went in. I was doing a vertical spin using the rudder and elevators when it flopped over. I had the forethought to idle the engine after trying just about everything to save it. I can see myself going back to the basics with a trainer or the Funtana but I'm afraid a Spad or a Stick just isn't in my future. I can't bring myself to fly a plane that doesn't look like a plane. I know they fly well and I enjoy watching others fly 'em, just not my cup 'o tea if you get my drift.
