Everyone has a bad day now and then, even when flying models. Don't let a crash shake you up too much. The best remedy is to get back flying as soon as possible and to stay at it.

With several hundred hours on the sim, you don't really need a basic trainer, although it wouldn't hurt to fly one just for the heck of it. I like the Sig LT-40 ARF or Tower's Big Stik models. The latter is probably more appropriate for a seasoned flyer that just had a simple dumb thumbs event. I've been there too, so don't feel alone.
