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!

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

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.
