Default Help name these planes

Ok,

Just wondering if any one knows what these are. The red and white one has a 47 1/2" wing span and an OS .28 engine. The gray one has about a 56" wing span and is about 40" long with a .46 size engine.

Any help would be great!

Andy

Hmmm plane two looks like a bashed Combat Gremlin.

Or a bashed Flying Wing modded to front engine.

Is the wing on plane two built up or foam core? Combat Gremlins tend to have foam wings

The wing is all balsa costruction, plane is very strange looking to say the least. I looked to see if there was any thing stamped in the wood as far as a brand but nothing. Might be built from prints.

The wing looks like a Desperado's wing, and it dose have the front mounted engine. The plans from this guy that I have seen just had the one vertical tail.

The red and white one is an Extra 3.25 designed by Rich Uravitch. It's either plans-built or constructed from a lazer-cut kit that was produced by Lanier up until a few years ago. Nice planes you've got there!

Thank you for your help, and thanks for the compliment! Now I need to find out what the CG is.

The flying wing is a Future Shock by Bill Evans.

You guys are the best!! I did go look and had to pull a servo out, it does have a foam wing core. It look like I can get a rough CG from the magazine article too.
