Well, it does remind me of my Byron P51, it was the plug-in wing version. I lost it back in 04 after one of the plastic hinge, between the aileron and flap ,broke.
It was setup with a G62, flying at mile hi the four bladed prop system would not have been enough power. I think the plane weighted about 27lbs.
Good luck on your project, I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did!
