"I have been known to test the life expectancy of my planes. "
Yeah, they do all seem to come with an expiration date

I just lost my "beater" (8 seasons) 4 Star 60 to failed CA hinges. About 25' off the deck in a shallow dive, the elevator hinges let go. Spectacular full power lawn dart!
My bad for not checking the hinges more frequently
Well now I have a good excuse to get the new 4 Star 64 ARF! Some nice changes to the original design.
