if your crahes were only due to bad reception..and nt pilot error..and you feel you can fly a plane..then without a dount you should look at the SKY-SCOOTER PRO2....its a RTF and for under $140 you get everything..including a good 72mhz radio system..thats reliable and ca be used in any future planes..read the HUGE sky scooter thread in the PARKFLYERS section on this website...
