Default What is it?

I found this at the field the other day. I guess someone was done with it! Its in fairly decent shape. Needs a paint job and some touching up. But what is it, and who made it? The fuse seems to be lite ply skeleton covered in thin foam. The foam is then covered with plastic or fiberglass. Leaning to the plastic. Wings are made the same way. Wingspan is 60", fuse is 41" from the firewall to the back of the rudder. Any ideas?

Yeah, P40 is what I was thinking too. Ive done some searching, and maybe its an EZ models P40. Did they even make one? It fits up with their style of building though. Ply skeleton, covered in thin foam, then sheeted with something... Has anyone else noticed that RCU's search is worthless?? I search for EZ and it comes up with nothing. Nada. However I have found through chance, at least 10 posts that contain "EZ". Whats up with that??

Easy would be my guess too. I have a super chipmonk by easy thats built with that same thin foam over structure. Gonna strip that foam off and build it right.

And YES, that search engine isnt very good.
