Default mystery plane

Can anyone Identify this plane? I built it from plans and for the life of me can't remember what it was called. I believe it was a Doc Matthews design that I built scratch but I could be mistaken.

The plane looks like a Sig Mid Star 40 to me, but I may be mistaken. Nice plane BTW...

That's what I was thinking of. A senior moment. If I remember correctly, they were designed for 4 stroke engines that were becoming popular at the time.

Boy do I know about those cobwebs. 8>)

The one commenter was correct when he said that there were a lot of nice floater type models developed and sold when the four-stroke glow engines first became available.
