I think Jim Buzzeo got the it right on the ID. only thing is its a 'fun fly type' at least that's what they were called back in the eighties at my hood. No one had ever heard of a 3d plane then.

Fun flys as opposed to Fly in's were competitive events that evolved with that type of airplane and that involved all sorts of strange stuff like how many inside and outside loops could you do in one minute.

My favorite of those Fun Fly types that I built were published plans called Ricashays, an aeroshaft thing that I used a Wankel .30 on. Fun Stuff
