Can You Identify This Trainer???

This Trainer is a nice plane but I don't know what Year or Model it is. Got any Idea?

The Wingspan is 59 1/2". The Fuse length is 44" Tail height is 8" and the Stab is 22' wide. The wing fastens with two wing bolts and has a single wood tab to hold the front that fits into a slot. The fuse may have some original covering, but the wing looks to be recovered.

Look similar to the newer version( 4or 5 years ago) of the RCM trainer that Tower sold as an ARF.

I think 'anonymouse' is correct.

It is this plane with an aftermarket landing gear and recovered wing:

Global RCM Trainer 40 ARF

Tower wasn't selling them. The dimensions are wrong for the Global RCM Trainer.

The dimensions on the plane match the dimensions on the link when the motor and tail section is added to the fuse length. The wing could be a stock wing that had the tips clipped to make repair easier. Figuring roughly 2" to each end it would be in the ballpark. then they added whatever color covering that was in their junk box and I ended up with the "Anonymouse" .
At least I have a good name for my plane.
I'm searching for a plan or manual for the factory CG point.

Thankyou people and God Bless you

Put the CG at one third back from the leading edge and you wll be fine. probably this is on the spar of the wing.

Just put it at the spar and you should be at a good starting point.
