RE: What plane is this?
I'll guess it's a Lainer Comet from the early 80's, about 56' wing? would have at the time used a .45 to .61 engine. Plasctic covered foam wings and all plastic fuse? A real early ARF.......Cliff
---------------------just joking. Bring it over to Hobbies n Stuff and ask Stan, Very good chance he'll know what it is.

The comets were high wing planes

Check the wing span I think the Scamp had about 50 inch wingspan, and that's the way I remember it looking, mine had a canopy though, it glue to the teardrop looking part on the top of the fuse.

Didn't Lanier used to have seams running down the center of the fuse? They came in halfs and you had to c/a them together?
The tail looks more like an EZ kit. I think Great Planes EZ if I am not mistaken. Those kits were out in the late 80's.

Bill, Here's a pic of my old Jester..Same as P-51, but different gear... Mine came together, all I hadd to do was join the wings, put on the tail feathers and install hardware..radio..Top was one piece and bottom one piece of different color, already joined. Maybe e-mail Lainer and ask if anybody ther know...It is definatley a Lainer plane of the 70's - 80's.....Cliff

Its an OS FP 40 bushing.I had it on a SKyraider pylon racer and it was pretty quick.This scamp is a lot lighter so I would say it will scoot?
