I quit replying because I wanted to say what Sam said but couldn't find the correct words lol. But I agree, you were being hard headed wanting to buy a dragster without knowing how to drive. That last link you posted was a very small winged, low winged plane that would be harder to fly than the one you just crashed. Even my Edge 540 would be more than you want to start out with. Yes, I started out with it, but I got lucky. The NexStar is a great plane, I suggested it for Gaba but unfortunately Gaba is more into heli's. I'm guessing you are going to be about the same way. With the NexStar, leave the flaps on it, set the CoG where they state and fly in an open area. Don't pound on the sticks, go slow and steady. And with this plane, get a buddy box on it until you are comfortable with taking off and landing. This plane is made of Balsa wood so if you touch a wing, it will break. If you land too hard, it will break. Buddy box may be a little humiliating, but it will save you a LOT of money. As will the sim.
