Question Unknown kit built float plane

Can anyone tell me what plane this is? I was given this plane and would like to see if I can find a manual or plans for this plane if possible. There's some unfinished work to be done on the inside and any help in identifying this plane would be much appreciated. Here's what I know: has a 48" wingspan, 36" fuse length, and has an OS 25 2 stroke on the nose.

Thank you.

Looks like the old Topflite Kittiwake. See the kits frequently on ebay.

yes it does, and thank you for letting me know this..... I was able to find a build manual for this plane, and hopefully it will answer the questions I have regarding servo setup and such.......

Thank you DGrant for putting that link there. I just saw the request for this, and that is also where I got the manual as well.
