I had been thru about ten planes, mostly because I never had the time to rebuild them. About two years ago I got one that I have absolutely fallen in love with and have a blast with. I have done three major rebuilds on it so far, one wing, one fuse, and one complete wing and fuse, luckly is a profile so most of the time it has only taken about a week to rebuild and get it back in the air again. So go ahead and get attatched to the plane. It will die only when you let it.
