everyone has crashes at some point, its a never ending saga, its just how often and when that you havecto negate aw much as possible. I have not had a single crash in 7 years due to pilot error or maintenance issues. The last crash i had was due to an electric motor shorting out and catching its ESC on fire, the other motor unfortunately only had enough power to take it to the crash site.

some take crashes pretty hard, i personally (after 25 years in the hobby) laugh the crash off and typically tend to find something amusing about it joke about. Unfortunately, if you arent willing to lose the model, you either shouldnt fly it, or dont get involved in the hobby.
