Recognize this plane from 1995 ?
 

Hello, I recently found a picture of my first attempt at R/C Flying from 1995. Does anyone recognize this plane ? It was an ARF and the fuselage was kind of like an erector set. I believe it had a pull start also. Thanks for any input.

P.S. This was my first plane. I went to the field to fly it alone. It was in the air for about 10 seconds straight up then straight down onto the concrete. Total writeoff :D[:@]

P.S.S. I'm trying to find one for purchase, because I need to beat the plane that first defeated me.

Hobby Shack (now Hobby People) sold it. I don't remember the name, but it seems that your experience was fairly typical for that airplane.

Made by kyosho, got one right here...mine loves the wind...hand launch, won't ROG..I never had a canopy tho....Kyosho/magnum 15 w/pull start, starts first pull everytime.
I've had it 10 years...
Hey, I'll sell mine if you want to give it another go...60 bucks, split shipping.
Isn't a beginner plane, but just a laugh out loud hoot to fly in the wind....and it will putputput over 20 mins on a 4 oz tank of gas

Hi Mike, Thanks for the offer, but I want to see if I can find a new one in the box somewhere.

Can you tell me the name of the plane ?

Thanks a lot, NJF72
