Hm, I find it the other way around. A dent in the fiber plane and it's wasted. (check the picture and you se my wall ornament LOL)
I think if you are to equip a foam plane with the same standard servos, retracts etc as you would in a fiber plane they would be just as rugged if not more. But again, it's also preferences. I can not afford crashing a Rebel HOT that is €1500 empty on an internet bet. The foam planes are flying airbags and protect the turbine well, while providing a really good package when flying at minimum cost in both pure $$ and time. Can fly them in another way while still relaxing.
