Allot of good advice so far. I was in the same boat as you. Fast burner, learned quick and really started trashing my trainer. I would end each flight with 3-4 broken rubber bands. My second plane was a Hobbico Extra 300s. Not the most forgiving plane but I took it slow with low rates and I put Hundreds of flights on the old girl before she gave up the ghost. Take your time, be patient and you will have no problems!
