Default What is IT ???

I bought this plane at the Murfreseboro Swap meet this past weekend
and cant find anything on it anywhere.
I think its an older combat plane,
I'm going to put a 25fx on it and see what it will do.
if any one knows about this plane let me know the CG and other settings

Thanks

PS if you cant tell by looking it has about a 36 inch Wingspan

I remember that kit . It was out at least 10 years ago and was designed around a 10 to 12 size engine. They also made a quickee 500 called the Dodger but I can't remember the company, I know it wasn't Future Flight or Klineburg.Don't think it was one of Direct Connections early efforts either but there i'm not real sure
At any rate a friend had one with an ASP 12 in it and it was a lot of fun.

someone saw me carrying it around and said they thought it was a
tailgate - tail back something like that
I'm gonna balance it I guess on the main spar for first flight and see what happens
rather be nose heavy then tail heavy.

Balance appx 13% MAC for testing. (that SHOULD be a little noseheavy) if you balance it behind 18%... expect a crash.
