From what I can tell and have been told from the guy I got this off of it has to be at least 20 yrs old. It has had a few rough landings and has been tree nested at least once but in all this aint in bad shape. I learned on this one with an os 61 fx on it and bought me a saito 91 off of my instructor. I recovered it and I thank God that I did it now, the rudder or vertical stab was about to come off, and one of the ail rods was coming off, not to mention about the hinges coming apart. It was pink or silver first and then the other, then red and then the lighter blue you see, and then the dark which i put on it. It still flys and lands excellent. For a beginer I thought I didnt do a bad job. Kinda sloppy but not to bad for an amiture.
