If this hobby is something you truly love, definitely don't give it up. For me the rewards are far greater than the drawbacks. Six months is not bad in the grand scheme of things to become proficient in RC flying. It took me a year to comfortably take off and land the plane without damage, and many more years before I could do it w/o prop breakage etc (Learned to fly RC in 1983). I remember when I first started flying having 6 or more spare props in my flight box, now I do not have any, they are in the work bench at home..

Keep it up.
