RE: Can someone identify this for me?

Thanks, It was designed and kitted by Dave Stuart, he used to do glass work for Dick Hansens' kits. It's a long story, but I was just getting into pattern when Dave was selling kits. By the time I was ready for a larger plane, Dave was out of the business. I had an old Kfactor with his ad and called him. He made up a kit form me. It was immaculate glass work. A couple of years after that I called for another kit and he said he had sold the tooling and wasn't doing it anymore. I tracked that guy down who bought the tooling, but he had just passed, so I don't know where the patterns are now.
The plane is an extremely smooth flier and looks good in the air. But like I said, I couldn't get mine to snap and stop like I needed. It was made in 2 wing sizes 900 and 1,000 sq inches. The bigger wing looked in better scale. Hopefully someone has the tooling and starts to kit it again. I'd build another! (and if anybody has a kit out there, let me know)
