Default RE: How many times do you crash?

I just soloed 4 or 5 months ago, and flew my trainer without issue for awhile. Got my hands on a Super Sport .40 a Dazzler .40, and a Slowpoke. Flew those without issue for 3 months. I was feeling very confident, then all of a sudden I lost the Super Sport and the Dazzler in the same month!

A gust of wind caused the Super Sport to bank hard during a take-off....caught a wingtip and kart-wheeled for 50ft, and my Dazzlers Spektrum receiver went into Failsafe about 10ft off the ground...went in hard. I gave my trainer to a new member, so I'm down to the Slowpoke, with a U-Can-Do (.60) almost finished and an Extra 300S almost finished.....I'm as nervous flying now as when I soloed!
