Where did that fuselage come from? It looks like a plane I had back in the 70s called the Stiletto. I had the molds for many years and sold them or gave them away in the mid 80s.

Derringer. Probably 20+ years old. Note anhedral horizontal stabilizer. Magnum .91 XL. Gets small real fast! Need to hone up on my flying skills before I fly this one again! Tried a $10 3-blade 12x8 prop for ground clearance. Lasted 1 flight. Back to 2-blade 13x8 prop. Coroplast Spadet in background flys itself. Not so with the Derringer. Requires much attention.[img][/img]

Here's a picture of the front cover of the assembly instructions. The plane probably came from the Los Angeles area. [img][/img]
