Default What kind of plane is this?

I got this plane at a swap meet this weekend and in the excitement of getting a plane with 3 good servos, fuel tank and battery for $57, I forgot to ask what kind of plane it was.

OK, since I have a good idea what some of you want to say, I know it is a Biplane. lol

Now to the discovering. It was a kit. The wings however did not have the braces on the outside. The guy made them to help support it better. The wingspan is about 46 - 47 inches. The wiring were the wing sits was supposed to be were the rubberbands went but again the guy made adjustments and soldered some metal on and screwed the top wing down. So Any help would be great. Thanks in advanced.

The Tiger Moth is a mildly aerobatic, between-the-wars, civilian and military trainer. It is a gentle flyer with a slow takeoff and landing speed.

Good luck with it.

Could be the venerable Gee Bee Tiger Moth. I don't think they can be bought new any more. Maybe...
