Well after almost 5 years of faithful flights, my Lite-120 decided it had had enough ......[] So this last winter I made it my first project to get back into flying shape again. Fuselage speaks for itself, but after I got the covering off the wing, the wing took longer to do then the fuselage. I am happy to report however that I re-maidened it this Spring and I'm once again a happy camper. This is just one of my favorite planes to go fly. Has an OS-160 on the nose, which makes it quite a glo-fuel hog, but I like the performance I managed to match the old color scheme with one exception. I bought a roll of 'translucent' covering, but when I got it home and started to put it on, it was actualy 'clear'. The wing pretty much was gone on the LE on both tips into about the 2nd or 3rd rib and the center dowel section was completly tore out. I think it looks kind of cool being able to walk up to it and show folks how it's built on the inside [8D].
The NIB one you've got for sale is AWFULLY tempting I may be PM'ing you soon but I don't want to jink's myself either.................

I took a video with a GoPro camera facing rearward on my UStick 120 Lite with a DLE-30. It shows the Concord (NH) Skyhawks field really well.
