Night flyer,

There are probably other sights out there with more info. But I think you have a model of a Crusader that was kitted by Dumas in the early 70s. I had one and used it in sport flying and with a third line for profile carrier. It did OK in carrier but I used a scratch built Bi-Plane that was easier to land and flew slow speed much better.

Here is some info:

Dumas Crusader
This model was kitted by the US company Dumas, probably in the 70s. It has not been manufactured for some time, although unbuilt/boxed kits occasionally come to light on the secondhand collectors market. It conforms to BCD rules completely and can be built exactly as per plan. Although the anhedral wing uses a rather unusual construction (known as the 'Detroiter' method), the model is nevertheless robust and performs very well. As the tailplane is all-moving, it is very powerful and must not have too much movement: say about 200 either way. If the model proves to be very sensitive to control inputs, reduce this movement even further. Plan

Tight lines,
