Stixoz,

Thank you for the very positive, encouraging words. As a solo beginner with r/c I, too, have very little carnage: one atomized introductory plane of pure ignorance I bought off the cuff from an ad on the Drudge Report that drew me into this whole insanity of flying little birds vicariously through radio. It was an EDF Chinese MiG-15 and it absolutely imploded on impact at full throttle. It was beautiful! 
I've slowed down with electric trainer types, now, and still view airspeed as our friend, but I've stopped buzzing the hermit crabs and view ALTITUDE as the great buffer for human error.

And SIM time! And I don't mean with machine guns and rockets.
Look out for leaping Barramundi and Wombats! We have curious hawks and winter Osprey along the coast, here. These are the REAL pros.[8D] Very cool customers.
