I have crashed everything I've had and have also been so disgusted with myself that I was ready to quit. Fortunatly my wife is very supportive and encouraged me to forget it and keep on flying, that crashing is just part of the learning process, albeit, the tuff part. So, I'm still repairing and flying. I've bought a US 120 with a TT 3000 and it's now ready to fly, but I WILL wait till I can get some one to fly it the first time and get it trimmed out and buddy me the first time I fly it. I'll have over $600 in it all together and don't won't it to end up scrap the first time out. I have a SPAD DEBONAIR repaired and ready to go also. The spads are great for learning and they are tough. Not indestructable, but tough. I broke the wing in half on my deb after three hard crashes. Crashed my BALSA USA stick 40 3 times totalling it the last time. Broke the engine mount on my QHOR the last time I flew. Hey, I work on em as much as I fly em. I can do well when just flying the pattern and landing and taking off but heck that ain't enough fun right? You gotta put a little spice in your flying. Trying to learn to hover and harrier land the QHOR is a real trip, since no one around here has one and I'm pretty much on my own learning to do it. It's pretty much try it and OUCH, work on it. lol
