yep it happens..I started with a .40 trainer at a snobby field with a "trainer" who never showed up to train (actually I think I saw him twice) plane crashed and got fixed a few times, a few others helped me to learn, and I think the last straw was my 10 year old step daughter slammed the door on my wing.. not her fault but I had had it with the field and trainer, so I never fixed it and that was 10 years ago,,but recently I got into schoolyard electric planes, btw that field is now defunct and growing corn, if you learn to fly and understand your gonna put some $ into the hobby and enjoy it then it can/will always be challenging to you, some folk just like to loaf around the sky and are happy with a trainer for a long time, others want to learn to soar in a week (generally not a good idea) but you get the picture.. people are different.. I am ADHD and get bored with anything in minutes so I may not be your best advice.. but welcome aboard.. Rog
