Default Please help me identify this airplane

http://public.fotki.com/mhansen/stil.../rcplanea.html

I don't believe it was a full build, and more like an ATF. It doesn't have any identifying marks that I can find.

Help is greatly appreciated!

Looks to me like a Sig Kougar. What are the specs?

It has a 50" wingspan. About 44" from engine opening to tail. Has a balsa wood fuselage. The main wing appears to be foam inside with a tough finish (acrylic or fiberglass?). Trike gear with steerable front. It doesn't have the engine or radio. Hoping to find what it is to see what radio gear and engine are compatible.

Thanks for any help!

Sure reminds me of a Sig Kougar http://www.sigmfg.com/cgi-bin/dpsmar...FV4.html?E+Sig
[ul]After you click on the URL link...[*] Select Airplanes on the left...[*] Then R/C BIY airplanes...[*] Then go down the list and select Kougar.
[/ul]

A friend has a Saito 56 in his but most 46 size two strokes or 50,52,54, & 56 size four strokes will work fine.

Just use a four channel transmitter type radio but bigger if you want. Use standard servos.

Enjoy,

Jim

Sig Kougar with out a doubt ! Any good .40 to .50 two stoke should make it perform well.

Thanks guys! I plan to pick up a .40 to .46 2 stroke and a four channel radio setup for it. My dad came across this plane at a yard sale for 20 bucks, a good buy. Looks well built and never crashed. Has everything ready for an engine and radio. The gas tank and lines are even in.

Thanks again!

In case there's still a doubt.

Great deal by the way!

(Oh, and I reversed the Kougar image.)

The 50 would be the better engine. Great flyer. Dont' slow it down too much on final till you know where it will snap. I have flown them a lot, and a few friends had them and they snapped them in often.
