Default Eureka pattern plane

Wow, someone else has seen this plane! Flew one of these in sportsman/intermediate for a few years. Now another guy in the club has it and occasionally flies it. Mine was painted and a little heavy but still flew well. With a good engine it flew pretty well. Had a YS .61 AR with Hatori 650 and APC 12*11. Real floater so landings were a bit of a pain from what I can remember. I believe it was designed by the Irish champ. A bit ahead of its time since it used fixed gear and a fatter wing to add drag. Good plane for the first couple of classes.
