Build suggestion.
Breakaway plane that takes minimal financial loss when it is crashed.... intentionally. Could be designed such that when it takes enough force to dislodge a piece of it (say... left wing) the rest would also dislodge and the fuselage would get a parachute! Or maybe you could deploy your own parachute for the whole system when it gets hit mid-air.
Even if it were to just dbreakaway and the pieces were hanging off their respective servo wires... it would have a nice soft crash-landing with a parachute. There is a nice way to tie a knot in a wire at a join such that when force is exerted to pull the 2 pieces apart, the force is applied to mostly the wire, instead of where it mounts to the connectors.
You could then take this plane to dogfight with your friends who have the same plane, have battles... and only have to replace some props and the occasional foam piece (but it's ok, since you can make a new piece yourself!)
