Default RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

So I got to fly yesterday with the CG at 5" and landing is a bit more iteresting, but I got it up and down twice and did ok, but on the 3rd flight I was getting pretty brave and I went to do a wall and at the top it dropped a wing so I went to the rudder to knife edge out, and I hit the rudder the wrong way (or it just stalled and fell) then it hit the ground.

My engine and radio equipment is fine, but the twist split in two right behind the canopy and the LE of my wing has some damage. I'm trying to figure out if it's worth fixing and recovering or just buy another one. I figure by the time I buy the canopy, engine mount, some balsa and a roll of covering I'll be in it $50. The other thought I had was to get something else. The twist was fun, but it has a TON of pitch and roll coupling with the rudder which makes it fly kinda strange sometimes. After looking around the only other 40 size 3d ship is the UCD and funtana. Do those fly any better? I'm starting to think the only way to get an airplane that isn't so twitchy is to go up to a 60 size or bigger.
