Default what kit is this?

I stumbled on a rather cool looking plane this weekend and cannot find any info on it, and need your help. I purchased a kit built Vigilante pusher plane from the local hobby store (according to the tag on it) . Store owner said plane could be 20 years old but looks like in was completed fairly recently.

This could be from a construction article in RCM years ago. Maybe late 70's or 80's. If you can connect to
the RCM Plans Service website correctly you could compare the plan data to the model you have. Someone
here should come up with that info soon. I'm sure of it.

Kind of hard to tell but it may be this plane from a construction articale in RCM years ago as roncoleman mentioned. I don't see a pusher or puller prop on the RCM photo so it may be ducted fan.

Maekju,

Couldn't remember what power plant was used in the contruction article.
Per your RCM link the Vigilante is listed under the ducted fan section.
Wingspam did say "kit"
