Default RE: Can anyone help me identify this biplane?

I once had a Cub that looked a lot like whatever that plane is??
My Master doesn't look as good as it did then!
It's the 60 size Aeromaster that was sold through Great Planes/Tower and was discontinued about 5 or 6 years ago, maybe more?? These were kit built only planes. As I recall they brought out the giant scale as an ARF for a while??
Very good flying planes but required something a bit bigger then a 60 engine to make them perform really well. I first had the MDS .68 in mine and I hated the plane, it was a real dog. Then I installed the SK .91 and wow!! Talk about a nice little hot rod stunt plane.
The early one had the wings held on with rubber bands and it flew better then the later models?? The later models like mine looked a bit better but I think they weighed more, I'm not real sure about that, I have flown the early ones but never owned one myself.
I still have mine but I ran into something and broke the top wing just a tad and haven't gotten around to doing the repair work.
