Help me idenntify this plane
 
3 Attachment(s)
Hi All,

Somebody recently gave me this plane. I think he said it was sold by Hobby People and took a 70 engine. The span is about 60 inches with a 17 inch chord, fuselage length 45 inches. Area something around 1080 square inches. The fuselage is balsa, not lite ply. The nose is very short, only about 5 inches from leading edge to the firewall. There is a hatch on the bottom behind the wing. There is a plywood plate on the bottom for tail dragger landing gear. It only weighs 42 ounces bare This is obviously a 3D fun fly type plane but I don't know where to start.

Based on my calculations of the TVC (tail volume coefficient) the CG should be at 29 percent. This would be very hard to obtain with the short nose. There are cutouts for standard size servos. Any ideas? I have a number of engines to use including a K&B 65, Supertigre 90, OS 52, 90 and 91 four strokes, and a Magnum 61.

Thanks,

John in Kalifornia
