Hey Crash....here's a short story for ya.......I knew this fellow a few years back who felt a lot like you describe about tearing up your pride and joy. He did exactly that with his first build......he described it as a beauty......goergous.....and on and on.......well don't ya know it - he crashed it and tore it up big time. His solution was to not fly his own builds. He several times bought crashes from me and rebuilt them to as nice as or better than they were before the crash. He says its not the same as building it from the ground up and has no aniety about flying them or crashing them.

You might try picking up a wreck and rebuild it.......then go flying and see if your anx is still there. My bet is you'll have a ball flying and not worry so much!

What do you have to lose?

Cheers.

oh, by the way.....he's a pretty darned good pilot these days
