bookstar...since you havent had any real succeful flights..you are still a newbie..for this reason I recommend you look st the t-hawk..from readytoflyfun.com..this is without a doubt the best valued RTF begginers plane aviliable,...and a excellent trainer right out of the box,,,it comes with many xtras ..like 2 wings/2 rudders/2 stabilizers/2 battery packs and 3 props...all for around $150..it can do around 20mph full throttle..or glide like a bird with the motor shut off..once you get it up a few hundred feet...the only drawback is it comes with a 27mhz tx..which works great..but is not a system you would want to put in future planes you purchase...this plane can take a beating like nothing else..check it out...
