Default Blast from the past?

Hey Folks -

I'm wondering if anyone out there can recall the name of a kit made by ACE back in the mid / late '80s- 1/2A foam wing, built up fuse. Wing was swept a bit, hand launch, landed on a skid / on the belly of the fuse. This thing absolutely screamed and I (vaguely) remeber having a ball with it back in the day.

Any thoughts?

Regards,

Bob

It was / is a very good flying plane. Strange building techniques with foam sheet over wood. Not very easy to cover or to make look good up close.
