Smith DSA-1 Miniplane.
The Smith DSA-1 Miniplane ("Darn Small Aeroplane") is a single-seat, single-engine sport aircraft designed in the United States in the 1950s and marketed for home building. The Miniplane is a conventional single-bay biplane with staggered wings of unequal span braced with N-struts and wires. Engines used by builders are generally the 65-hp Continental A65, 85-hp Continental C85 or the Lycoming O-235 of 100 hp to 125 hp.

Thanks to “crashed_again” for the model and Doug Schluter for the blue / white color scheme.
Built from scale drawings found here: http://richard.ferriere.free.fr/3vues/miniplane.jpg
Flight controls include throttle, rudder, ailerons, rudder.
Fly with the channel 5 rate switch in the “High” position.
This is fairly nice flying model biplane. Light handling - nice biplane feel to it. Easy landings.
