That's an Andrews product...

He made 3 similar planes of 3 different sizes.

Mini Master, Trainer Master and Sport Master...

The Mini was approx. a .20 size, the Trainer Master .40 size, and Sport Master .60 size.
Yours appears to be the Sportmaster.

You can also see a family resemblance to the Aeromaster (or Aero Master ) biplane. The fuse and wing tips, and tail surfaces are all similar...although the vertical surfaces of your plane look to be slightly modified, with a small dorsal fin added.

They are nice flying airplanes...a friend had one.
I had the Trainermaster back in the 70's.

Lou also made the Pattern Master, another great flying airplane.

I flew the plane today, and you are correct, it is a good flying plane. The OS 46FX pulled it much better than I expected.

The Pattern Master was designed by Hal Debolt and kitted by Midwest. I have one sitting in my kit stash.

Built a Pattern Master last year. Finally got a few flights on it today. It's powered with a .46 AX II. Yes, the .46 is plenty of power.
Sweet flying plane with no bad habits. I like it and glad I built this one. Always up for a challenging build and it definitely delivered in that department.

My bad, you sir, are correct. It is indeed a Midwest kit. I've still got the wing to one I had twenty some years ago. God knows where the fuse is.
