Well, I have been looking at Aero Boero, but can't find anything low wing, so I guess it's not from there either.

Are we looking at a 1960's design Martin?

Boys, sorry but somehow PPrune has lost my confirmation that it was the RR-11! Ken has CONTROL!!!! IMPA is an interesting company!!!! Wesworld - IMPA (Compania Industria Metalurgica & Plastica S.A.)

This one is flagged as the Tusa, but I would have given it to Ken anyway because he did all the work.

Somewhat confused. No photo of the aircraft on the link you provided Martin. Ironically in my searches I assumed it wasn't the Tusa simply because quite a lot had been produced. Anyway it certainly appears to be the Tusa, assuming the source of that picture is correct, so I believe control should be with LM.

That's nice of you Ken, but as I said earlier you did the work and finding the Tusa was straightforward.

The Tusa and RR-11 are not, as far as I can see, the same aeroplane at all.

I feel control should rest with you mate.
