While listening to the tale of R/C Eric, I can sympathise...my HK Spitfire Mk. 24 has had about 120 outings in 5 years, and is going strong, but its only enjoyabel because I have literally hundreds of hours flying slope soaring EPP warbirds - and this gave me an idea for a solution for R/C Eric....
(1) Convince Eric to get a 60" EPP Warbird from Leading Edge Gliders....
(2) Get Eric to build it - it will be a good education for him
-Mods :
--Replace the balsa tailfeathers with corflute/twinwall 3mm
--Cover the thing with 3M fibreglass duct tape - the creat, cross threaded stuff
--Finally use mylar tape for a silver finish, since Eric has a WWII USAF fixation....which is cool.
--Then use self adhesive vinyl for markings in various colours...
(4) Teach Eric to SLOPE
This is a great solution, because now...
(1) The plane is immortal - Augur in, and it bounces, ready to fly again !
(2) Flight time is measured in HOURS, not minutes
(3) Its a warbird !
(4) in most cases Eric can get away with three channels, perhaps even two...
Then, the other really good alternative would be for Eric to, of course, get building the FT Spitfire, FT Mustang, and FT Mini Mustang and FT Mini Corsair......These are very inexpensive, easy to get hold of, and of course if they die, well, then its a $40 kit as opposed to a $400 lawn-dart !
