We have one that was originally built some 30 years ago or so we guess. It has been through so many hands, crashed and repaired so many times, sometimes repaired well and sometimes not so well, and it still flies great. Looks like hell. We have decided that the old bird has earned a new strip down, repair whatever needs to be repaired, and recovered this winter. It has been a good one. We aren't even sure who owns it as it has parts from several folks on it. We have a couple of community planes that first one guy will take home and then another any anyone flies them who has the desire.
