2 planes in one week!!![X(] Maybe the flying gods are trying to tell you something. This hobby can get expensive in a hurry. I would just relax a bit on the high risk aerobatics for a bit until you get more stick time. It sounds like you are progressing very quickly in this hobby (maybe to quickly). Slow things down and enjoy learning to control your planes in all types of situations, especially with the trainer planes. They have limits to what they can do and what they are capeable of recovering from. Orientation and knowing what to do in panic situations is all part of the learning curve. Just sit back, take a breather, collect your thoughts and get back on the sticks and fly. I like to wring out a plane now and then but I also like to fly my Sunday flier planes and relax also. And I have just as much fun doing either. Save the hardcore aerobatics for your 1st 3D or sport aerobatic airship.
As far as your friends plane goes, he was nice enough to loan you one SO..... you break it - you bought it!!
I guess you won't be modding the old NexStar anytime soon huh??

Cheers and happy flying, FOK[sm=thumbs_up.gif]
