Anybody recognize this airplane? Wingspan 72 1/4" tip to tip, fuse is 56 1/2 nose to tail, balsa built-up cowl. I'm assuming its a Dave Patrick by the stamp, but unsure of model or age. A friend picked it up at a garage sale, with the OS 120 Surpass and an older Airtronics radio system for a almost nothing. I'm in the process of covering/recovering it. It was never finished, and therefore has never seen the sky.

How about it fella's? Any ideas?

The "DP" branding is a little puzzling, but to me it looks a lot like a Great Planes "Super Sportster".

I thought it looked like the SuperSportster 90-120 also, but thought maybe the older Patricks bore the "DP" stamp. Possibly the original builders initials.

Or DP can stand for Doubler Plate, if its a newer great planes kit it was probably a part identification stamp. My Ultrasport 40+ had them in different places one being on the wing bolt doubler plate. and the wing joiner was stamped as well. just another opinion on what the dp is.

It is a SuperSportster 90-120 from Great planes. I still have the book on mine if you need any info.

Thanks for the verification David. I found the manual online and forwarded a copy to the owner. Appreciate all the help.

BTW David, how did it fly? We had a 40 size at the field that was extremely fast and seemed to glide forever on approach. Does the bigger one have the same tendencies? PM is fine.

Couldn't have you said that a "friend of mine" had a 40 size at the field that was extremely fast and seemed to glide forever on approach?

My feelings are hurt.
