I once re-built an old Flitestreak for the second time that had had a new nose once before.<div>Fuel had eaten through the entire paint job on the nose and had become totally fuel soaked.</div><div>Ray is right, the normal this for a bloke to do is build a new model specially since this Flitestreak  was 19 years old.</div><div>Old model to me are like vintage cars,  re-building them is well worth it.</div><div>I ended up burying the nose into a 2 litre bucket of BiCarb Soda for 6 weeks. That did the job.</div><div>I finished re-building the model and flew it for another 2 years and stored it in my roof for 6 months.</div><div>This model in now back in Sydney with Colin Willoughby being flown at KMFC on occasions still going strong.</div><div>So, Don't throw your old gunked up fuel soaked models out .Have the satisfaction of re-building them.</div><div>Lots of fun. and time and effort and blood sweat and tears.......lol</div><div>
