If you've already been down the fly and crash toy store R/C plane route, perhaps it's time for a new plan. Have you found a club yet? Do you have someone to help you learn? If not, before you buy anything else, try the AMA club locator: http://www.modelaircraft.org/clubsearch.aspx . Go to a club or two, see what they are flying and talk to a few members. Most people find that buying hobby grade equipment and learning from someone else significantly reduces crashing.
