 I wasn't reading this thread, so might be repeating what others have said.



It looks like someone put together Drifter parts and did a lot of modifications.  The windshield is a lot higher than a Drifter windshield, and the instrument panel/pod is significantly different. It seems to have flaps - a modification that Phil Lockwood sells. I don't see the fuselage pan behind the gas tank - but that might be because of the high grass. Yet it looks as though it ends right at or beneath the gas tank - unlike the single seat Drifter. The molded seat certainly looks familiar - exactly the same as mine. And I'm puzzled by the location of the angled downtubes - it may just be the camera angle, but they look as though they're in front of  the seat - unlike my single seat Drifter,  which has the same shaped downtubes behind the seat. And yet it doesn't look as though there's room for another seat in front of the pictured one. The keel arrangement looks like the one on my Drifter.



So my guess is that it's parts from a Drifter, with perhaps parts from other planes, and a lot of mods.
