All RTF's can be "ready to fail" if not handled properly, not to discount the very real problem you have!
I'm not aiming my comments at you, I just don't think these things should be sold to beginners.
Unfortunately beginners are often attracted by the looks and low costs.
I agree that these are not your classic .40 sized high wing trainers. I also agree with you that they should'nt be sold as trainers. On another subject.. It sounds like you've had some experience with the Starmax type models. How long should I expect the Nitro brushless motor and ESC to last? I've asked this queston a couple of times and so far no one has stepped up and answered my question...
