Could be a home build. Any clues on it that leans towards a kit build?

It looks like a "Pronto" designed by Dave Robelen and sold by Tidewater Hobby Enterprises in Fairfax, VA. for $21.95 retail. Tower sold it for $16.00 on 1974. This was the small version and it came in several sizes.

Agree that it's a Pronto, although the smaller version. The original Pronto is a tad big for a BW.

Here's a 3-view.

I think you've got a winner (and I backed the wrong horse). Sad

The Pronto and Bee Tween are very close in appearance, but the plane in the top pic does appear to have a slightly tapered stab, shorter nose and cockpit more closely associated with Randolph's mode. The Pronto has a dorsal fin and the Bee Tween is flat in front of the fin/rudder.

<< (dances) yeahh.... what i win??

ive always built mine from drawings that i made yeasr ago from a damaged one so i dont have a "propper" plan if you can point me to some where that has a downloadable pdf one that would be nice ?
