Help Identifying Airplane or Kit
I am searching for an old kit - maybe 8 years ago of a profile fun-fly .15 size kit primarily designed for slow combat. I have attached a picture of my recently crashed model. I think it was originally by a company called ZIGGS Originals that was ultimately bought out by some one either in Rochester NY or somewhere in Pennsylvania.
Any information on this or a similar model (kit) would be helpful. I have had a ton fun flying this little critter, and already miss it.
Here are some specifics:
Was originally built as a HellCat or Spitfire (possibly others) for the general profile.
Triangular airfoil
Carbon Fiber rod for Fuse strength
Carbon Fiber tape for strengthening of wing spar
Single wheel landing gear (aks fun-fly) sprung with rubber bands for quick landings/takeoffs.
Any information on this or a similar model (kit) would be helpful.
Pls send what you know or think to me at [email protected]
Thanks y'all

The term HELLCAT is kinda 'tongue-in-cheek' - the original did have the side-view profile that looked like the Hellcat, but I have crashed and repaired this model - maybe a dozen times, and it actually looks like whatever yuo can think of.
Thanks anyway

RE: Help Identifying Airplane or Kit
I found the kit - it's an MS Fighter's Hellcat and was produced about 8 years ago and marketed at a hobby shop in Penn Hills, PA.
Mark Shope was the kit maker and he shipped me a replacement kit - missing a few parts, as he is out of the kit building business.
Thanks everyone for sharing and providing advice.
