Hi armody,

Sorry to hear about your prangs but as some of the others have said it is part of this hobby. If you never fly them you will never crash 'em. My two cents of advice is to get yourself a Multiplex Easy Glider Pro. That way you will always have something to fly as they are difficult to crash and even more difficult to damage and lots of FUN to fly.

I always take an electric glider to the field and even if I have little time to myself in between students I always find time to fly the glider. Thirty to fourty five seconds of motor run can lead to having to spin the model down so you can see it if there is any lift about. Two of my students learnt the basics of R/C flying on a few weekends flying Easy Gliders and progressed to solo on other more demanding models after only a couple of flights on the buddy box.

Select and build/assemble your next choice of model but if you have something like the Easy Glider in your hanger no matter what happens with your other models you will still have something to fly.

Cheers,

Colin
