I got an RC plane one Christmas that I promptly broke the wing off of. Bought a new wing. That one didn't last long either.

Bought an RC helicopter and that didn't last long either. Seems RC toys and I don't get along very well. Which is unfortunate, because it was fun while it lasted.

i fly a DJI Mavic Pro. Had to get my FAA permit and Reg numbers so I'm "official" It's alot of fun for sure.
I started with mini remote helicopters but no ability's on it to video. That's why I love the Mavic- I can shoot videos
in HD and its a very stable platform- flies real nice. Have fun putting that back together and more so when you get to fly it !
