Everything is covered with fiberglass
Flaps

This is a VERY old plane and is super cool. I need to get an engine for it but I'm not really sure what size engine to go with at this point. I do want to go with a 4 stroke for sure. The previous owner didn't know much about either.

Any help would be appreciated

I'm thinking this might be a Marks Model JEMCO kit, the box label says 54" and Jemco kits had balsa covered foam wing cores.

a few build pics here http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/rc-w...razorback.html
