Default Can anyone identify this model???

The model -being a wooden fuselage --is --I think - one built from Model Builder plans of 1979- for the Tiporare.
I did those , for guys who like to build for themselves.
The Tipos we sold were also made by GreatPlanes (they paid a royalty to me ). Always glass fuselages)
There were a number of varients :
Tiporare , Tipo750 , Hippo Tippo (825) ,Tipo Surpass.
There were a lot of em sold /built from 1976- 1990. Into the thousands actually
They were, in all candor - basically the H Prettner type layout -with anhedral stabs -for the earlier ones - later on we changed the stab position and made it w/o anhedral.
We sold off all fixtures etc - years back -
