Hello Stephen,
not surprised that you cannot recognize it!
It is a very light adaption of the the all aluminum Butterfly Flying Flea.
In this case, I am attempting replacing the Alu with Sky Pup building
techniques...that is wood-capped Styro spars.
For a bit of background on the Butterfly you can check out the following:
http://www.flyingflea.com.ar/home/traditional-fforg-menu-1/butterfly
and:
http://www.flyingflea.com.ar/home/traditional-fforg-menu-1/butterfly/short-story
The photo shows the ladder type fuselage and I guess that a picture is
worth a thousand words, so, if you click on the "...aún más liviano (
even lighter) " image, towards the bottom of:
http://pupflea.sitios-apaux.com.ar/home-menu/divague
you will open a PDF file with a 3-view of the project.
Should you be interested in finding out more, do not hesitate in writing again.
Cheers,
Charlie
