RE: Name the plane
My "other" hobbies are woodworking and boatbuilding so Ican handle a plane pretty well for shaping a solid wing, but it would make a pretty nifty traner with a simple built-up flat bottom wing for the novice builder/flyer. Is the fuse also a solid slab? I'd build the fuselage similar to a hollow core door, downsize it a bit and hang a .15 on it. (I love those li'l beasties!) The front end certainly looks rugged and the upright engine promotes easy startups. The wheels are turning already!.
After someone guesses the pedigree of this thing, could you let us have the particulars?
