Default Excelarator airplane

Not quite sure of the spelling but just bought at our mall show a Excelrator airplane with a YS 91AC, 4.8 RX battery and servos for $75. I thought I could find a photo of one to post but NADA on photos. It kind of looks "patternish".


Has anybody ever heard of this plane? I'm told it came in a couple of sizes. It's kind of squared off in the front back to the canopy and from the canopy back is more rounded off. Slightly tapered one piece wing which resides in the lower 1/3 of the fuse. Smallish control surfaces so it is not a 3Der.


In any case the YS was well worth the money. One of my club mates had the plane and ran the motor. Says the motor "leaks" fuel out the back. I know what that problem is and should be an easy fix. Says it idles great and "really screams". It should scream as he only had a 14X6 on it. Way to small!!


Thanks for the help ID' ing this plane!


Ken

Ya I should have taken a photo yesterday at the show. The show continues today so I'll take one and post it later this morning. I bought it mostly for the engine. The airframe is a bonus!
