sorry to hear about your crash.its happens.ive been flying maybe a month in a half and ive had quite a few.but i had to very good flights around the park,one landing was a little rough,the other was a crash,ive have the g4 simulator,i think its great.its not exactly like flying the real thing.but still you can learn.i have a axecpv3 and an axecp,im hooked on the helis.i hope to get better.i need to get better at nose and hovering.thats my main issue.but anyway good luck to you and be proud of your flight.
