they all crash about the same.Please don't build your first plane,buy one from somebody who is no longer using their trainers.There is a excellent deal on a LT40 in the for sale section now for 250.00 ready to fly.You will have so much time in the plane you build you will be scared to fly it.For a first time flyer be prepared to make mistakes,so It dosent hurt as bad when you don't have way too much time invested.Build your second if you want.I have noticed threr are two types of RC plane hobbiest,the one's that like building them and the ones that like flying them.Take notice and see if you think that's the case
