dle 120, this plane has had a da100,dle111 and now the 120. it has over 1500 flights on the airframe. its a prc yak 54. i am hoping to recover the plane this winter. its getting pretty rough.lol

With that many flights on it it will be interesting see what you find after you strip it and inspect the air frame.
I have a Decathlon that is 16 years old and just finished rebuilding it. It was scratch built. Still took a lot of money and time to renew the plane. On Fuse I only had to do some work on the firewall. All I know is that I have almost 200 hours on the air frame.

Well boys it is done and ready for the 2017 season cannot wait to fly it. The decathelon is rebuilt, reprogrammed with 8 new HV JR and Savox servos new 12 channel 2.4 receiver, IBec, gas tank, engine cleaned carb rebuilt and exhaust cleaned up inside, suspension rebuilt, 2 new 1350 mA0 batteries. After all that decided to give it a wax job and I mean old fashion carnauba wax job that hard stuff out of a small flat round can. It looks good. I must say every time I use this stuff it reminds me of days when I was around 12 when I had help my dad clean and wax his car on a Saturday afternoon noon the smell from good old carnauba wax is very distinctive and brings back memories.
