Default Advice after a bad day

Well i went flying my World Models Groovy 50 3a today. It is a tail dragger. I was haven a blast doing some loops, ke, and hovering. I decided to make a highspeed pass and realized that i was missing my left main landing gear. I got very nervious. I had never done a 1 wheel landing before. Some guys at the field tried to walk me throught it. I decided to make a couple passses and figure how i would do this. Unfortunatly i ran out of fuel because i lost track of time. This was during the last 30ft of runway. I nosed it in pretty hard. I could probabley resusitate it but i am also thinking of a new plane.

This is my equipment
OS FL 70
7 channel reciever
5 standered hobico servos
600mah futabab battery

I would like the plane to fly a little slower than my pattern plane. Landings were very hot, which i did not like. I would like it to have bigger control serfuces. I would also like to to a be a fuse plane with a cowl. My price range is 100-150

It was a bad day at the field. 1 mideare, 1 deadstick out of hover, 1 landing gear falling off. Total of 4 planes were damaged. One was ripped to shreads!

Thanks
