Question Help identify this plane?

Hi guys -
I could use some help. Any guesses as to the identity?
From another forum, I've had guesses that include (but yet incorrect), RCM Funster, 4-Star and a Telesport.
Thanks in advance!

Why do people think that every plane has to have a name. I have two planes that do not have a name because they were not built from kits. They are both build from scratch. Scratch meaning from the scratching of the ole noggin, plans drawn, and pieces cut and assembled. Not everyone builds from a kit.

That lifting stab makes it a Telemaster variant.

Looks a little like a Bruce Tharpe Venture, I have one in my models.

The horizontal stab does look built up, not a Venture then. Different shape to the vertical stab, The wing looked like it was cut 1 bay, which was a popular mod for the Venture.

Yeah, the builder wrote "Funster" inside the fuselage. But this one surely doesn't have a Funster tail. In fact, I'm fairly confident now that it's an RCM Funster with a Telemaster tail.
So It's Funstelemaster.

I promise I haven't had anything to drink today but when I looked at that pic and the tail the first thing I thought of was a Lazy Ace. That thing was custom bashed from Chuck Cunningham's standard Lazy Ace plans. If that wing is flat bottomed, I'd bet my brand new Tiger Tail on it.
