Need help identifying this plane

I bought this this plane not sure what it is. It has 90" wing span. I think it's a older model tr-260. Any help would be appreciated. Looking for plans to finish it.

Hi Flyn,

I happen to have one of those planes, It is a TR260 ARF. It was one of the early giant scale arf's imported from China. From my experience with my model, I found it to be somewhat sluggish in handling. The model comes out somewhat heavy as compared with today's arf's of a similar size. The firewall construction is weak and needs reinforcement if you fly it with a 50cc or larger engine. Allot of guys were also adding wire bracing to the tail surfaces to keep things in their proper place. The Vacuum formed plastic is brittle and needs glass reinforcement to keep it from cracking. In my efforts to get a better handling plane I clipped the wings one rib bay on each wing tip however it didn't seem to make much of a difference. It came with an assembly instruction manual and that was about it. I will look around in my stuff to see if I can find it.

Thanks Carlos for the info. From what I can tell the plane was a kit plane not a arf Iam not sure on how to put wings on and where a few other parts go.

That's definitely an ARF, Almost Ready to Fly. Prebuilt, precovered.
