Default Can Anyone Identify This Plane.

I got this at a swap meet. It is sporting a Saito 120S.
Flies great and lands slow.
I think it is some kind of wannabe racer from old.
Very nice custom build with full sheeting.
Looks like 1980's stuff.
Very cool elliptical wing.
Been searching online and no idea what it is.
Anybody know what it is.
Thanks for help.

Wish I could help you but all I can say is it's really pretty, would love to see a couple more shots from different angles!

I would love to post more pictures but RC universe has a 5mb limit on photos and this is the only picture I have under 5.
Not sure how to shrink picture file sizes.

It is a Heinkle 70 Blitz from plans published in RCM in the late 70's?

Larry,
It's close but still fairly different. The tail is huge on mine and the canopy is just a bump. Your guess is the closest so far though.
Thanks.
