well, i am not familiar with the .60, but the wing on the .40 is held on with rubber bands... so it sounds like the bolted wing is a bit more secure by nature. i was just relaying my experience. If you read the thread that i posted a link to, there were several that doubted the hypothesis that the wing separated before the crash. that was the diagnosis by several of the very experienced guys at the club. no saying fo sho what happened except that it went in hard and was a total loss. again like i said, H9 was AWESOME and replaced it free... whether i was right or not to even ask them to do so. just by the nature of a bolted wing i would think it is a more secure design. either way, I would highly reccomend any H9 product. I am very happy with my .40

have fun with any trainer you end up with. the whole learning process can be a lot of fun. I am sure that you have read the many threads that will tell you to get an instructor till you have some flights under your belt. this is good advice and will save you a lot of frustration and $$$. so have fun and welcome to the addiction
