If you crashed the Duraplane, you probably have an engine that still runs, a receiver and servos that still work, a good NiCad battery, and trashed out airframe which can be replaced with a $70.00 Tower Trainer ARF. If you get a 40 sized electric like the Hobbico Superstar EP and crash it, you'll more than likely also trash out an $80.00 motor, might damage the $70.00 ESC, and maybe destroy your $150.00 worth of LiPo batteries (if that's what you're using). So, you could be out $200.00 at least, in addition to having to repair the airframe its self, as long as the LiPos didn't catch fire. Stick with your Cub for a while, and then find an instructor before taking a chance on that big 40-sized electric investment.
