It's been 2 years since my son's and my solo flight and we're STILL flying the same trainer today. I did manage to put it down in the last couple of rows of corn surrounding our field a couple of weeks ago but it's so far unscathed - save the usual amount of hangar rash it picks up moving from room-to-room and in/out of the house/vehicle.

I upgraded my NiCD packs and a few weeks ago we put in a total of 8 flights. We must be up near 100 total flights by now - it's on it's 3rd gallon of fuel.
