Default Does anybody know this plane?

I have one of these planes in the shop. It is as good looking as the show picture not the box picture. I plan on assembling it this winter and getting into pattern flying next season.

It has fiberglass chin cowl and pants, clear canopy, aluminum hinges on all surfaces, pull pull for the rudder and rather light weight push rods for the others.( I will replace these with carbon fiber on the ailerons, a Dave Brown fiberglass on the elevators and Sullivan clevises all around) The horns are a screw or peg type attached with three screws. (I haven't actually taken them out of the package to look at them) There is a anti-vibration engine mount included, not sure of the make but it is made up of several parts.

The plane seems to be very well made. The fit and finish from what I have seen is excellent. The instruction manual leaves a lot to be desired (poor ameraneze) but if you have built a few it should't be a problem.

I took it to the field when the pattern guys were practicing. The commented on how well it was built and said it should do well. A couple asked for info to try to get there own.

Hope this sheds some light
