What size and style build. If it is in the 30% (+) range it might have been Eagle Aviation from the late 90's. The origanl Troy Built models also had one in the 70" range in the early 2000's.

The full-scale DR-107 One Design was TINY. The 80" ws makes this plane about 34% scale.

It may have been an Ultrasport RC kit (or was it Ultimatesport ?) with the foam wing and ply/balsa fuse.

CG at 28% of MAC for the first flights. Move back to suit your style from there.

The wings are build up wings, no foam cores on this one.

I know the TBM models were built up wings using Foam ribs/jig built. I have one of the staudachers. Not sure of the One design though

TBM's One Design was smaller than this, and the Eagle Aviation model was larger.
