If it helps the rib spacing is 2"

Whatever it is, if the rear fuselage is reasonably stiff and it doesn't weigh a ton it should fly well.  Stick an engine on it and fly!

That's the plan. Crashed my rebuilt TutorII a week ago. The wing was the only good part left. Now my blue LA46 has a new home. This should be a better option than my Super Clown or my 40 yr old P63.
 This might be someone profile version of a Vector. I should be flight trimming on Wednesday afternoon.

Still don't know what model it is, but with an LA46 and a 4oz. Hayes tank it weighs 48oz. That's 10oz. less than "Stunt Pig"! Trimming starts  tomorrow afternoon.

The fin says Dick Sarpolus was involved with the design.
