I'm also a rookie, flying (and crashing) a slow stick. My friend, quite a bit more experienced, has an Aerobird "for his grandson". He's gone through probably five wings due to imprecise (OK, very imprecise) landings pushing the wing back into the prop, which eats a big notch out of the trailing edge. The first time or two, it's repairable but eventually the wing breaks too many times through the notch and can't be reasonably repaired. I suspect the T-Hawk will have the same problem. I think I'm ahead with my SS. I have a prop saver and props are $3 while wings are $8 - $10.

I have just ordered a T-Hawk "for my grandson". I'm going to try putting aluminum tape on the wing trailing edge and see if that helps. The aluminum tape (about .003 in thick aluminum with really effective adhesive) is what HVAC guys use to seal seams on heating systems and is about $7.00 a roll. It ain't duct tape.
