Default RE: Stupidity Strikes!!!

Sorry to hear about your crash.
BUT, you have just had one of the biggest learning aids you can get.
Yes crashes happen, but normally we can repair them. Total destruction is less common than minor repairable damage.
Once you repair your first model the fear of damaging it is much much less.
This allows you to be more adventurous with your flying, and so your flying will progress quicker.
You also have now gone through the 'I crashed my plane guys' experience at your club. This I found to be an invisible wall to climb.
my advice, fix it, fly it, roll it inverted and fly it. When neccessary roll it upright and continue to fly. Fly inverted some more until inverted is no longer an issue. There, you are over the crash.

Good luck, happy landings.
