I’ve written several times about the airplane. So, this story will repeat somewhat. As a child, I was interested in R/C airplanes. In a rare lapse of judgement, Dad bought a used “trainer” from a coworker. However, since we’d been told that crashing is inevitable, he sold it.
Crashes are inevitable in R/C. The only way to get better is to keep flying, keep crashing, and keep repairing. Although most things in life are more robust than R/C airplanes, the ability to pick up the pieces and devise creative solutions after repeated setbacks is a valuable skill.
