Indeed, I have seen many a plane bite the dust only to see the owner bring out another one the next day and try it again!. Must be the challenge to get it right! Now a days it only takes 3 days and a fat check to get your next one in the air but where is the fun in that. The hobby can be a huge cost with the jet turbine types costing up to 40,000.00 bucks..Yikes, that is the cost of a very nice new car. What are they thinking! Anyway most of my electrics are sub $200.00 and the electronics and motor usually survive to fly again. Great fun.

Cheers, JR
