Ok so my father talked me into getting back to my original RC roots of building, flying (and crashing) R/C Airplanes.
He happened to have a few Duraplane parts laying around so I have since built 3 of them, crashed 2 and rebuilt 2. See a pattern here?

Unfortunately the balsa planes (wood) don’t exactly bounce back all that well.

Below are some pics and vids of the planes.
