If it were me I’d recover, like Stang said.

However you threw in a couple key phrases that make me think you might want to just repair…. For now. “I would like to get it ready for some air time, as my skills will be ready for it soon”

If you’re a beginner, and you’re going to fly it a lot, the odds are not in your favor of this plane making it to the end of the season. If you just fix, you’ll have it in the air much sooner then if it does happen to crash you don’t have much invested. If it does make it to the end of the season then make it pretty during the winter because your odds of it living longer have dramatically increased.
