It's good that you didn't give up because of one crash. I remember that when the wing came off my lt 40, I immidiately said that I can buy a new fuselage, before it even had a chance to hit the ground... Always do preflight checks, and a range check at the beginning of the day, aswell as a quick inspection of the plane to see if everything works properly.

One tip: If you take off, and something is obviously wrong, and you have a hard time controling the plane, you have two options. Either take it up a few mistakes high, or throttle down and try to make a gentle crash landing. The first one sometimes saves your plane, but often causes a crash. The second one usually causes some damage, but nothing unrepairable. Of course this might not be true if you are flying a jet or giant scale, but for foamies or trainers, powering down is IMO the better option.
