You shouldn't be crashing that much. If you're having a great time and not endangering anybody and your budget allows it then it's not really a problem, but anybody who crashes on half the flights he makes has a serious problem. From the sound of your posts, I'm guessing you haven't learned how to trim planes properly and also haven't learned even the basic piloting skills. That's a really bad combination- a plane that doesn't fly right and a pilot who can't compensate. It would be really smart of you to get with a seasoned pilot to at least get your planes in trim and teach you proper flying technique. That'll save you an awful lot of repairs and money, even if you have to join a club to get it.
