Must admit with that rather distinctive tail I though that someone would have got it or been close by now.
So a clue....American, and an adaption of a more well known aircraft.

Internet has been down all morning here (fancy that!), so will take a look at your triple-layer-tailfin now, but will need to go in half an hour for another couple of hours.

Hi Reg. Glad to know internet connection problems extend beyond the rural areas of the UK!
Not a triple layer tail...the "3rd" layer is actually the lower wing tip.

Morning Martin
A good question. The "more well known" aircraft that I referred to was produced in different forms. The basic model had a more traditional tailfin, but variants had the "double" fin. The challenge aircraft appears to have a more streamlined version of the double fin, but that may be due to it being deflected in the photo. Hope that makes sense
is any part of the fin/rudder original? If so which part?
. 2 aircraft converted from the original Kinner engined Fleet 7.
