I did last year what you are doing now. I took 5 years off after selling my stuff as well. Not a money thing for me, I just hit a wall with RC and thought I was done. Well here I am again and loving it like I used to. Stormrider mentions the safe system and what he has heard is probably right. I bought a Glassair from Horizon that has a flight righting system called "Progressive Virtual Instructor" in it depending on how you set a couple of switches on the radio. I turned them off within a minute or two because I didn't like it. It seems like you are fighting the plane rather than it helping you. Maybe with a beginner it can help, but I found it to be bothersome. I also found that after a few flights, I am doing much better than I expected.
