Default USTFA?!?

Unidentified Soon To Fly Airplane - Got this plane from a friend that got it from someone else. No plans. He thought is might be a D.S. Prime Cut +20, but after comparing this plane vs any docs I could find, we both agree it's most likely not a Prime Cut. At least, it doesn't look like any Prime Cut I've come across. This pic is at the just-about-done-covering stage (I got it partially built and uncovered), but before I go any further, I'd like to find out what plane it is. Yes, I could easily just treat it like a scratch build, but I'm just really curious as to what plane it is, anything I should know, yada yada. If I can't find anything, then sure, I can figure out the CG and all that, but

If anyone knows what this plane is, please let me know. So far, what I know, approximately:


Wingspan: 91"

Fuse Length 54"

Foam wing and feathers

Seems like after all said and done it would be a good 50+cc maybe?

From the looks of the plane, the size is like a 90-120 size glow, but with 10" added to the wingtips. Plus the fuse is a little fatter, and it sits a little taller.

Any ideas anyone?

Yep, thats more like it, at least from what Icould tell from the picture, wish they had different angles. Howd you find that? Any idea where the specs/plans would be found? I checked around, but plans I found are for a prime cut version that's not the same.

Thanks for the heads up!
