Default RE: lesson learned.

Sorry, willybe. It's a shame, but inexpensive electric airplanes are simply not long for this world. You're going to have a blast flying your Nexstar though.

The one thing cheap electric planes might be good for is giving you something to smash while you're waiting to fly your good plane. When I was going through flight training at the club, I had a couple of buddies who crashed their Avistars while taxiing them in their driveways. They couldn't wait for training night so they were jacking around between flight lessons and damaged their planes.

I had an Aerobird Challenger I'd bought before I bought the Nexstar. I couldn't fly it worth a hoot until after I solo'd on the Nexstar, but when I got the urge to mess around on my own, I could go smash the Aerobird into a soccer field and not tear up the Nexstar instead.
