Very new to rc. Managed to dsestroy my first (non micro toy) helicopter in around twenty seconds. I am the poster boy for why you should learn on a sim (which I am going to do).
HaHa! Yes, I'm in that boat right now! I have just built a new HK450GT and threw the usable parts from a ERazor 450 into it (electronics and such). I had pretty much destroyed the ERazor ... took me a little bit longer than it did you, but I definitely understand your predicament!
Welcome to the site ... we are definitely glad you are with us
