3D When is a plane used up?

I really need to go onto @Bartman 's "What Do You Want" thread. After seeing that picture, I am convinced that this awesome site REALLY needs an "Unlike" Button. . . . .

That'll buff out. This is what used up looks like...

There is no such thing as used up. Even the pictures of crashed planes can be repaired.

Any plane needs PM from time to time. That can include glue and recovering. Hell, real planes go to Depot all the time to be "rebuilt".


THIS IS NOTHING MORE THAN A GENERATION OF I WANT IT NOW, AND I'LL THROW IT AWAY WHEN ITS NOT NEW.

I like building mine from a kit so I get to glue every inch. I have a few planes that are 20 years old and they a staying together perfectly. Green zap super glue fillets with no accelerator seems to hold up forever. Too bad glow engines are not in vogue anymore.

Happy New Years to everyone! Now go start building a kit for 2016 and get a kid I involved! ARF's are okay but nothing like building your own.

I like (love) to build but like to keep a few arfs ready to fly as fill in.

I had nothing but good things to say about that plane. Bought it from the 1st owner when it was 6 months old and I flew it for 5 years. My 1st 35% and it taught me so much. Even brought home some wood with it in IMAC. When I get a new plane I always compare it to this one. Banged it up, it got repaired, recovered, always enjoyed flying it. My EF 104 Extra would have never got built if I didnt make the decision pass it on 3 years ago.

A plane is done when it is too much trouble to keep it flying.
