how about a Bootlegger... I'll check my fuse i have at home.. My plans were never returned to me by my Brother n Law so will have them again around the 19th.... Will get specs... if it is a Bootlegger it was flown in itermediate and expert pattern probably others at the 86 Nats in Lake Charles... Saw a young kid flying one in intermediate that did a slow roll that looked like it was on a clothes line.... I'll remember his name soon.... he's in Arizona now.. Last name was Bird......

Easiest way to tell if it may be a bootlegger (or a southern r/c kit) is to look inside the fuse itself and see if the unpainted fuse is blue in color. The part that does stand out to me that tells me it is not a bootlegger is the front part of the canopy on your bird. The canopy on the bootlegger holds its tear drop shape through out the front whiles yours comes to a "flat" in the front. I know the saturn had this style canopy but the tail is not right. Here is a picture of the bootlegger fuse.
