Well, there you go! it's a Jetster 45 with a turtledeck installed aft of the canopy.[8D]

Sometimes I scare myself with my savant like ability to recognize aircraft.

If you have access to old copies of RCM magazine back in OCT 2001 they had a plane called the Southern Eagle. Looks real similar to your plane in the photos. It has a wing span of 62 1/2 inches, horiz stab is 23 3/4 inches. If these figures match your plane you might look it up in the old issues. Plans are still available I believe. Great flyer. I have started to sell mine several times but I still have it.

It's a Jester! Not, the Southern Eagle.

This is a Southern Eagle:

Most Southern Eagles had 61 two strokes to 91 four strokes

The Southern Eagle is a RC Modeler magazine plans construction article.

It is a very nice plane and is more of a pattern style plane
