Man sorry to hear about the nice plane you built but we have all lost a plane at one time. and will lose more if we keep flying. But you are on the right track now with the trainer plane. I have just started flying a stick plane i got when i started out in this hobbie i was told to put it up and wate until i got use to the trainer so i did. this is a slow learn hobbie for me and i have learned to leason to the guys when thay say dont do it yet. Anyways i hope you injoy flying the trainer thay are a lot of fun. I still fly mine when my little girl is not flying it she is 12 and loves going to the club and flying with me. Good luck and i hope one day you have all the planes you wont and can fly them all very well.
