Thanks for the replies everybody! I've been reading some of the 2nd plane threads and those look like the three that are most talked about. (4 *, Super Sport, Tiger 2) I guess my next question is, which one of the 3 is the easiest to build? I'm looking for something that requires the least amount of cutting and drilling. The more that is ready to go the better. I do want to start doing some more "building" but I rather have a plane flyable while I'm doing it. Otherwise I'm afraid I won't take my time with it and be to anxious to just get it working.

As for what happened to my trainer...I learned a tough lesson. Even if it has been over a week since you last flown, if there is a mechanical problem with your plane, land it right away. Don't try to keep flying with it. I think I have that lesson down pretty good now.
