outacontrol41,
yeah, that's the story of my life: a day late and a dollar short! I keep falling in love with RC Planes (and motorcycles) that have been discontinued. Then find myself having to hunt down everything I need, piece by piece. I'll start keeping my eyes open for another one as a spare! I'd eventually like to get one that has the original markings. The one I've found has got military markings (US roundels) on the wings and fuselage along with the civilian N-Number. For some reason, the previous owner pulled the letter "D" off the tail number as well. Once I get my hands on it, I'll see if I can get the roundels off and return it to the original look!
