Just for info, the guy that crashed his plane and then wasn't too upset probably has lots of experience and has at least a few more planes sitting in his basement. That being the case, he probably didbn't want to bother to fix this plane. Also he probably knows from experience by looking at it, if its going to take more time to fix it than its worth. The plane is actually the cheapest part when compared to the engine, servos, and electronics. If those are ok, then any crash isn't that bad unless you are getting into 1/4 scale stuff. Then thats another story. Have fun, Fast!
