Default Trouble Maker Short Kit

I came across a short kit of the Trouble Maker by Sky (somebody)....it has foam wing cores and stab. The fuselage is white gel-coated fiberglass. It would be part of a deal for two planes and I'm wondering what this kit would be worth....the other kit is a D&B Zero (which I would build). I would sell the Trouble Maker to offset the high cost of the Zero. I believe the Trouble Maker was made/kitted in the early 1970's so it should qualify for the Classic Pattern. Your thoughts....

Troublemaker kit is probably by SkyGlass. They were in Nashville TN and were sold thru Bob Reuther's hobby business for the most part. They made a lot of pattern kits like this in the 70's. Quality was sometimes suspect and the resins and layups they used were notorious for warping the fuselage in hot weather. FG techniques have improved considerable since these kits were made.

burtona, thanks for the update...yep you are right it is SkyGlass! Short memory Any idea of it's worth? I understand the same 'kit' is being produced today - do you by any chance know who is making them?

Sorry, I can't help with value. Put it up forsale and see what it brings. I didnt know anyone was making them in FG now. but you can get a kit of the wooden version from Euraka Models which would be a better option than the Skyglass kit IMO.
