I've crashed every one of my planes. It's part of the hobby. You are going to crash. Some of them last 3 seconds. Some of them last 3000 flights. It's unpredictable.

There are 2 types of planes:
1-Those that HAVE crashed
2-Those that WILL crash

If you don't think you can handle crashing--then don't get into this hobby.

Thats the cold, hard and honest truth. You are going to crash airplanes. If you can't afford it or you can't handle it--then take up golf or sailing.

See my signature:
They all have expiration dates. I'll give you $50,000 if you can find it printed on one of them from the factory.
