Not sure what it is, but it's definitely not a Dirty Birdy and I'm pretty sure it's not a Kougar. Could be a modified SIG Kobra. I say modified because the fin outline is different and the engine is side mounted.

well I think its a sig something

I'll have to go with F-8.
It is right on the tail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HA!!!!

The model in the picture has swept leading and trailing edges (to the rear). Sig's Kobra, nor did the Kougar, feature a swept wing. Yes, it could have been bashed from one of those Sig kits.

If it is a stock kit of some model, it wasn't very popular because I do not recognize it and I would recognize it if it had been popular.

It's not a bad looking model. I'd like to fly it a few times.

Thanks for the input.

I have no information on the model, other than it was at one time owned by a gentleman named Henry Johnson in Townsville, QLD Australia, and this was probably about the same time (maybe a few years before) as my Dad bought an Ivan Kristensen Saturn SE with Kraft .61 w Perry pump and Perry carb....This would have been a late 60's/early
70's design.

I have one pic of the Saturn

I'm not that familiar with Tony Bonetti's "Troublemaker", even though I do have a recently made kit of that model. I wonder if that is what it could be?
