Default RE: Freedom vs. Challenger

Super newbie here.....I have a Freedom, as a first plane....Teaching myself has been a real experience. I have crashed and repaired this plane so many times, that I'm starting to wonder just how smushed up it can be and still fly. To date I've bought 3 complete wing sets, two props, several tail sections, and a spare battery (tho I'm wondering about the battery....never flies longer enough to kill it).....I have had to straighten and reinforce the fuselage several times. The motor mounting has more wood on it than plastic, now. This morning I thought I'd finally gone over the hump. Flew two nice flights.......However the last landing skated into a fence post and broke the wing spar, and stripped out the screws that secure the tail.......I'm really wondering how many time I can patch this baby up and still maintain some sort of flight integrity.....Pat
