I've seen a couple guys in the club who were out of practice a bit rave about the World Models Sky Raiders - there's a high and low wing one. They're really cheap, like 70 bucks, and fly well.

I agree that you need to keep flying and not let a couple mishaps discourage you. I started in the 80s and let some crashes get to me and didn't get back to try again until 2000. Now I lament the time I lost without airplanes!
