Default Not sure what it is.....???

Well, the winds were blowing at about 15-25 mph today and we headed out for a few hours of flying (all 3 of us are beginners)....Had my tower trainer 40 up in the air and the gusts took it off into the trees.....
I bought a flight box and 3 parts planes of a kind gentleman out my way and one of them is an all aluminum open fuselage with cardboard wings. Looks to be about a 40 series plane. Was going to take a picture tonight, but forgot all about it. I have installed all my servos and motor from the tower trainer and was wondering if anyone knew what kind of plane it is. It has ailerons. It seems pretty indestructable as it is all cardboard and aluminum...Just trying to research and see if the tower .46 would be an OK motor to use. Not sure if it'll fly or where to check fr center of balance either. Maybe if I find out wha it is, I can find the manual somewhere online.....
If anyone thinks they know, please let me know....
Thanks in advance....
