As for make, I do know it's Chinese and odds on originally from these guys: http://www.hobby-china.com/html/e_97.html (Mine also came with that same totally undersized pilot figure shown in their page)
One thing I do know is that it is the same exact one that Nitroplanes sell (though mine came as a b/day gift from an importer that lived near my dad). That said, it looks quite well made, light yet strong, everything is well lined up and is going together really well.
As for motor, when the plane was sent down to where I live as a belated b/day gift, my dad also sent me a CRRC 26R (3.15hp) motor with it also (pretty sweet b/day gifts last year I must say), which will more than suit me as all I will need as 3D is not my thing (I have heli's that hover just fine should that need take me), and I'm really looking to set it up for more 'scale' aerobatics and sport flying only which is why I haven't seen a need to have gone and got a DLE30 or 35.
As touched on previously, this is the same exact airframe as mine, and his 26cc is only rated at 2.6hp - which is about a 17.5% drop in power over what the motor I have puts out, so I think I'll be happy with what I'll get from her: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eP8LZPGBLP0
