OK Guys,

I know who this is, but I don't have a clue what the model is. Let's see how good you guys really are. Start sounding off!

Correct, that didn't take too long. Now does anybody know the model?

Cees,

You maybe on the right track, it might be an eariler version of the Sabre Hawk. The model with the flaps is a Sabre Hawk IV.

Free Bird,

My answer was Sabre-Hawk but, Javelin could be better. I think CAsniffer is right.

RE: Test Your Knowledge

Taurus Flyer,
I deduced that this plane is called the Javelin because a high aspect ratio design was referenced in Ed Izzo's bio on the AMA website.

http://www.modelaircraft.org/files/museum/bio/Izzo.pdf

It's in the "As a Designer" section of the article.

Thanks.

RE: Test Your Knowledge

During the time I knew Ed, his AMA number was always 1220.
So is this his plane he's showing off?

Thanks for the link CA! I would have to agree that it's a Javelin from the pictures in the article. It's alway nice to put a name with a great looking model.

RE: Test Your Knowledge

well, it must have had. As far as I know, Ed Izzo "invented" the foam wing
