Yes, it's BUSA 1/6 scale kit. I have contributed to a build thread here: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2267961

It is fun to fly and a challenge too. Take-offs are the biggest challenge as it is really squirrely on the ground if not handled correctly. Sometimes I get a good straight run but not often. In the air it is fun but I have to pay attention. The shallow dihedral on only the top wing makes it less stable than other planes I have that size. Loops and stall turns are great fun but not aileron rolls. Barrel rolls can be done but altitude it your friend. Spins are fast but it recovers nicely. The easiest thing to do is the landing. It so much better behaved on touchdown than my other WWI planes.
