Default RE: Name that Plane!

Live Wire,
The Champ-looking windows and Citabria (or Decathalon) tail-feathers stumped me too. Then there's the Cub-like turtle deck with the aft fuse stretched rather long. Knowing the builder I think this kit was built without significant modifications. I also think the kit designer just designed "an airplane", without attempting to scale any one specific make or model. Based on how hard it is to identify I suspect the kit was not financially successful. Sure flys nice, considering it is so "anonymous".

If this helps at all, the fin and stab are built into a single assembly that fits into a notch on top of the fuse and is attached by a #12 bolt going up through the bottom of the fuse just ahead of the tail wheel.
