Hi, Riggie. Sorry to hear that, but it happened to me 2 months ago. Only difference was the airplane brand. I might be wrong but I believe you have 2 ways now: either you insist in flying your wrecked airplane by "repairing" it, or buying costly parts from the manufacturer to end in the same spot you are now, or you forget about this plane, try to salvage all the electronics and sell them on Ebay to get some money back and then you buy a real glow fuel airplane kit if you like building, arf if don't), get an engine for it and a radio and servos (don't go too sophisticated here: you are just starting) and then join a club and learn to fly. Be patient. You don't need to do as I did, but just for info: I bought from Tower Hobbies the Sig Kadet LT-40 kit and the engine they recommend for it for less than $150.00 both. Then I won an auction at Ebay for an older Airtronics 6 channel radio with 4 servos, receiver, batteries and charger for less than $50.00. The Sig Kadet comes with everything you'll need except the covering Iron on film. Sure you will need to invest in some extras as a covering Iron, CA glue, etc. If you don't like the idea of building it yourself then you can buy the same Kadet, almost ready to fly and covered for around $130 (engine apart). Well, than by all means join a club and find an instructor! Believe me, you will save $$$ at the end. (Of course, if you REALLY like this hobby or sport!)

If you start with electrics, you are missing a lot of fun. I believe you can switch later if you prefer electrics. I believed I did, and now I don't want anything but glow fuel r/c airplanes. Good luck! I'm also a beginner, but if I can be of any help please don't hesitate and let me kniow.
Good luck!
