My SL-1 had the same hatch on the bottom of the fuse. I used this access hatch to install one of the MK bellcranks that allowed me to drive both elevator halves with single servo. This bellcrank allowed me to install the elev. servo forward in the fuse near the wing TE. I also collocated the rudder servo next to the elevator servo. I opted not to install the servos in the rear of the fuse for balance reasons. I really believe it is an SL-1.

Other clues for me are the shape of the wing filets, the canopy detail of the frame molded in like a fighter canopy, and the location of the end of the chin cowl taped up behind the wing. You may be right, but it sure looks like an Omen to me.

Dave:
I never had an Omen but everything about the fuse (the wing and stab fillets as well as the canopy and cowling are the same as my SL-1). As I mentioned before, I wish I knew of someone that was offering the model. Perhaps someone on the classic pattern forum might know of a company kitting it. I still have the YS 120 I had in that plane. My SL-1 met its demise when I was performing a two point roll (at veeeery low altitude) and while "showing off" to local non-pattern types I pulled up elev when inverted. There was nothing left of the fuse but the motor and some servos survived. I still have the remnants of the wings and stabs.
