Default good electric plane...

hi,

i am looking for a good beginner electric plane. i, sadly, already went through two...(well almost 2). the first one i had was just complete garbage. the one i have now is the 2ch sdm dragonfly. on this one the wing cracked in MID AIR. currently, it is stuck in a tree, and i am waiting for the wind to bring it down as i have nothing long enough to snag it. also on the dragonfly, the engine is messed up. without even touching the throttle on the controller, they just spin by themselves... i tried adjusting the trimmer but nothing works.

the only previous flight experience i had was with a mini xpv. i am debating getting the regular xpv, as i had lots of fun with the mini for about a month until i crashed it nose first and the battery broke.

i also made the stupid mistake of buying my 2 planes off the internet...i shooda went to a hobby shop...

probably once i get the dragonfly down it will still fly, but i want a good reliable plane for hanukah =). like i said, i was considering the xpv.

would be beneficial to get a 3 ch? or stick with 2?

wat are some electric planes that are good stable flyers, and dont break very easily?

or should i just go to the hobby shop and ask for their advice? or should i just continue with the dragonfly once i get it down from the tree? =D


thanks in advance
