I would say if you tried to fly alone and the plane survived it must be either tough as boot leather or a pretty easy to fly trainer

Glad you didnt kill the plane, and glad your going to get help and not let the pride factor get in the way. In the short time ive been flying ive already seen WAY to many planes destroyed(we have a club member who is VERY talented at that)destroyed cause people dont listen(also saw what happens when you reach through the prop on an evo .46 for the glow plug........my instructor warned him nto to do that...but hey).
