Luckily though, my roomate has an old electric airplane, you know the Airstrike ones? Well we are going to go fly that around today so I can get used flying the plane before I ever even try to take mine up again.
I feel lucky as anything to be getting this thing back in one piece, and after sitting 90' upsidown in a tree for 3 days, the engine fired up on the second flip 
And the only damage was some torn monocote, I think im just going to patch it with some tape, because the hole is only a bit bigger than a quarter, and I don't feel like ripping all the covering off and doing it again, because I know that it is going to get crashed again.
Using the Airstrike as a practice plane may not help as much as you think!
Your bet for minimizing the chances of crashing on your next flight is to get an instructor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you don't get one could you alt least bring your camera to the field? I for one would love to see the before and after pictures
