What plane could this be?
 

I picked up a glass fuse and foam cores from a swap meet. The plane is a 60 size pattern plane with a pipe tunnel running inside the fuse below the wing.
It almost looks like an LA-1 but it is not. The vertical stab is not molded to the fuse but has to be foam built then glued to it.
I can not for the life of me think of the name of this plane. I will post pics tomorrow.
Thanks.Phil

Photos would be reallllly helpful;).
That said, it sounds like it might be Larry Phillips version (glass/foam copy) of the Aurora. The mold was incorrect and the vertical fin crooked; so, instead of making a new plug, Larry just cut off the offending vertical fin and provided a foam core replacement. My best guess without seeing it!

I have the cores for wing and H.stab, that's it. It would be nice to know what i am building. Any help from you guys would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks. Phil

Looks a lot like the MK Cosmos in the Classic Pattern Image Base in the above link, post # 263.

How about a Leopard? It's almost a midwing.

Isnt that a Conquest IV?

Hey Mike, that was my first thought when i picked it up. I will post more pictures with the cores and fuse together and see what will happen.

I don't think it's a Conquest IV. I have a Phillips Conquest IV and it doesn't match up with your plane very well at all...

My vote would be: maybe a fiberglass knock off of the MK Cosmos, possibly made by Phillips Aircraft...I wouldn't necessarily call it a perfect match but it's about the closest thing I can think of. Maybe seeing some pictures of the vertical, wing and stab cores may help narrow it down??

The first photo below (pink airplane) is a Conquest IV...The other three pictures are of the MK Cosmos for comparison.

Hey Chuck,

How have you been? I haven't seen many posts from you lately. I was just thinking the same thing about the wing cores and vertical stab. I guess great minds think alike..........:D:D

RE: What plane could this be?
 

I think the Conquest IV is fatter in the fuse between wing and stab.

Still going with the Cosmos...

RE: What plane could this be?
 

I do not have anything at all for the vertical stab, but will post pics of the wing and stab cores. Phil

Here is what i have.

Huh...Wow...Interesting!! That's pretty kewl!!

Defiantly not the MK Cosmos judging from the win/stab planform...That "double taper" is pretty neat..

Dunno what it might be??

Good to see you around here Chuck.
