Have acquired this slope soarer that I’m trying to get back ready for spring

Has 4 Futaba servos all wired in that drive rudder, elevator and ailerons / flaps.

Picture right below shows the left servo driving the flap mechanism on aileron servo (just not visible behind central rudder servo). Aileron are driven by short pushrods that exist fuselage just below the wing / fuselage junction and have snap on connectors

The fact that it is in the Foss Colour scheme suggests to me that the builder aspired to a Phase 6. Could it be that he couldn't afford it or wanted something a bit larger so 'rolled his own'?

Is there any evidence that this was a commercial kit rather than a home brew, e.g. printed part numbers?

I have a vague feeling that the original article for Howzat showed the model with a "Chris Foss" type colour scheme. Saw the original article recently when sorting some stuff out. That stuff is not available to me at present so I cannot check it.
