Looks like a old Lou Andrews Aeromaster , an original one with the holes in the top wing for # 62 rubber bands. MAX H.

I've studied the picture repeatedly, and have done some extensive research. After discussing it with some of my flying colleagues, I can tell you with 100% confidence that the plane in question is most assuredly a Bi-plane. No doubt about it, the two wings in the front portion of the fuse "close to the nose" are a dead give away!

It does look like an Aeromaster though.

Why sell it , they are a super flier. Put a mild or an old .60 in it & have some fun! MAX H.

Default bipe

I was thinking about keeping it?? It has an awesome covering job. That brings up my next question.... The covering feels like silk?? Someone thought it could be cover rite??? Do I have to put a clear coat on it to make it fuel proof??? I always used monocoat.
thanks

It most likely has dope on that is fuel proof. Put a drop of fuel on the bottom someplace & let it dry then wipe whats left off with a towel or rag . The color should stay . MAX H.

If it is an aeromaster, join the club, I have just aquired a biplane, which I put a thread on this BB for identification and it turns out to be an andrews aeromaster. I put a 30 year old Merco 61 in the nose and it flies beautiful, best plane I have at the moment, flies like it is on rails. keep it and have fun with it.

Hello Djay,
That is it!!!
Your plane looks exactly like this.
Do you know what the C.G. is??
Thanks for taking the time and posting the pictures.
I really appreciate it!

my CofG is aprox 2/3rds of the way back on the top wing, it was only guessed at but as I said, it flies so nice I dont want it to break.
If you look back in the archives or search for identifying plane, you may find my original post and get some more info from there, good luck with it, any modern 40 2stroke upwards should fly it, a 46 would be ideal, a 61 ballistic.
