    The last thing you want to do is risk your plane with an unreliable hack on the plane (or flight surfaces, or anything holding the plane together). It could cost you hundreds of bucks, days of work

    When learning to fly gliders, I did a LOT more flying once I ditched a balsa aircraft that had to be re-built after every "landing" in favor of a foam one that could take a lot of abuse.
