Default RE: Crashed and not exactly sure why

only thing i can recommend for anyone (considering my limited experience) is to never fly a plane that makes you shake every time you fly it.. if you are too nervous you will make nervous mistakes.. i had a hobbico superstar and i really felt so comfy with it until i put the frame into too much of a bind in a maneuver and the wings snapped, so i jumped right up to an aerobatic plane thinking that i was ready bc i was capable of amazing manuevers with my hobbico.. i flew the aerobatic plane a few times and was always too nervous and it seemed that i was constantly correcting it until i just got tired of it so i got rid of it and got an advanced trainer and i couldn't be more happy to be back in my comfort zone!!! i dont want to fly if i can't enjoy it.. i won't fly if i have to fight it, i want to relax a little more and enjoy the thrill of flight! imo you will be most happy with what you were most comfortable with out of all the planes you have had.. i probably will not go aerobatic ever again, i seem to enjoy scale more anyway, less stress.. i may one day get a 3d plane but who knows right now i am all about some scale planes, i also want to try float planes.. but back on topic, fly only what you enjoy and forget about trying to hurry up and advance into the hobby just enjoy it, like da rock said flying is a privilege that we should enjoy (or something like that)
