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.

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?
