Default plane identification?

can anyone identify this plane?

this is all i know about it. "its a red trainer with a 56 inch wingspan and about 42 inches long". i know that's not a whole lot but maybe one of you may have flown one of these bad boyz

i recently won it on ebay, its supports a dwarfed os.25

thanks

You're lucky. I always have to pay for what I get off ebay.

Don't think of it as winning. Think of it as agreeing to pay more for something than anyone else in the world that knew of it would.

Nice plane. Very much popular back a few years. That was the recommended second plane back when I was in High School.

If it's a Falcon it must be an early one. The MK-II had a buil-up stab and the one in the pic has just a flat sheet. Vert fin and rudder are also different than MK-II.

this is a Sterling FLEDGLING . the tail is flat. the Falcon has a built up airfoiled stab. the wing is bolt on , the Falcon has rubber banded wing.. airfoil is nearly flat with phillips entry. Falcon has semi symetric airfoil. good flyer but the .25 is really too small.esp. a LA motor.take off on grass marginal.
