Looks like a Berkley kit to me. The engine is a McCoy .15 I think. Kinda strange though as the case splits and it's rear intake. Trying to identify it for a friend.

Ron , that looks like a Guillows trainer. Our club uses ones to teach newcomers. Ken

That is definitely a Guillows Trainer. We have a Guillows Trixter Trainer. Looks very similar. Only difference I can tell is the canopy. Ours is extremely heavy. A Marz 2.5cc Diesel flies it. Barely. A 15 Magnum XLS is even worse. Neither engines could stunt it in any way. It handles wind surprisingly well. Good trainer. Can take a beating.

The Mccoy is a Sportsman .19 angled rear intake. The engine overall is not very powerful. They really didn't make a whole lot of power and the quality was fair. Ken

Cool plane. I had one that looked similar to that, but it was a Testors kit called a Freshman.

I believe you are correct. The Freshman had a profile fuselage and a solid wing. The Sophomore had a profile fuselage and a built-up wing. There were also the Junior and Senior with built-up fuselages. Each came in several sizes starting with the "9" that was sized for the McCoy .09 engine.

Edit: Found plans online. Plane outlines do not match above pic...sorry.

Yep the Freshman was designed for the McCoy "9" engine which (IIRC) was an .098

Here are a couple of McCoy .098's. I believe the red tank belongs on an OK Cub though. I bought them both used.

I was lucky to have known Nate Bast, the guy the designed the 'Freshman' series planes, the guy designed a lot of different planes. Here's his early 80's R/C pattern ship the 'Groover', first plane I'd seen do knife edge loops. Notice the canopy...looks very much like the early 'Freshman' planes.
