Does anyone recognize this plane? I just bought it and would like to know what true make and model. I think its an 81" ws extra 330 but that's all I know. Thank you so much for your help.

Thank you so much, I have searched and searched for this information.
one more question; I contacted them about the plane and Midwest sent me a manual. However, the manual does not state what size plane they are referring to. so how can I tell if this is the right cg location? instructions clam 5 7/8"

I misspoke about the wingspan, its not 81. The correct wingspan is 73".

That may be an old Yellow Aircraft ARF Extra 300. The Midwest Kit was a single seater if I am not mistaken and of course it was much bigger than yours.

I can pretty much confirm that it's a Yellow Aircraft - I looked at some pictures of an old one that I had and the side number is the same. Unfortunately, I'm pretty certain that the instruction manual went with the plane when I sold it.
