Just bought my first rc plance. I have had cars and trucks in the past. I took the Super Cub LP RTF out yesterday and proceeded to crash it in to the ground twice. Need a new cowl and lost one of those doo-hickeys that goes on the end of the post where you clip the rubber bands. Some minor repairs that I will have patched up quick. I think it might have been too windy... and I also don't know what I am doing so that plays a factor. If at first you don't succeed.....

Sounds like 80 out of 100 other "first time" stories here.
Don't despair, and welcome to the club!
I'm on my 2nd fuselage, 2nd wing, 2nd struts, and lost count props and cowls. (I'm not as bad as I sound, but I have done a lot of experimenting, and swapped out for better electronics and added ailerons)
Spend a lot of time reading the mods everyone is doing. Particularly clear packing tape in the cowl for strength and paper clip holders for the struts at the back of the battery box (designed to release the struts in a crash so they don't break). don;t forget to strengthen your wing saddle with a popsicle stick and (I also did the bottom, trailing edge of my wing middle with 1/16 plywood).
