Need help with identification of a plane
I got this in a trade last year and have no idea what kind of plane it is. I am going to sell it here on RCU but need to know the name of it first.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Well thats what i thought to but wasn't positive.
The wing has probably a 1" or 1.5" dihedral and i always thought they made them wings pretty much at 0 dihedral. That was making me wonder thats all.
Thanks.

I would say Kaos to, but something is wrong with the wings. I'm sure it's a Kaos fuse, but that wing has a lot of dihedral in it for one. This may be a bash? sportster wing maybe? Looks good though!

yep
didn't the kaos suppose to have a wing with little or no dihedral. The fuse is like you said rcflyguy a kaos but damn those wings throw me off.
Anyhow, it flew great. You couldn't get it to stall. Thus the dihedral huh LOL

I need glasses..
That sure don't look like any Kaos I ever saw..maybe the canopy. I thought the Kaos had a tapered LE and TE, and the tail was different, too.
Kinda like this:

It's a Bridi Model
Looks just like the Sun Fli V, the predecessor to the KAOS. The tail feathers, fuse, general wing shape, with strip ailerons,and wing tips look as per plans, however dihedral has been added and the canopy is shorter in length than the original.
It's a SUN Fli V.

THAT COULD BE ANY ONE OF 12 DOZEN DESIGNS,ONE FOR SURE IT IS NOT A KAOS, SUNFLI MAYBE,IT LOOKS MORE LIKE A GOLDBERG SKYLARK THAT SOMEONE FORGOT TO SAND THE FUSE
SUNFLI HAD I BELIEVE A MORE TAPERED WING WITH A THICKER AIR FOIL .REALLY CANT SEE THE TAIL WELL ENOUGH TO TELL.MY TWO CENTS WORTH. FLYYBOY
