Size wise this sounds like a Jet Hanger Hobbies F86. I'm not sure why the motor would be upside down though. Is the motor in front of the fan or behind it? If it is in front of the fan It may be a Byron F86 ( although I thought it would be larger than what you described).

Fan
The motor is behind the fan. There is top hatch also. Maybe some one decided just to put motor Upside Down??

ThanksGuys for the leads-any more out there??
I put the wing tip to the wall to get the W.S. length of the longest point-did I do that right??

The F-86 may be a Zia kit.There was no hatch on the fuse top, everything was located thru the open wing saddle.
As I remember this kit was first offered from Zia models, then they either went out of business or were sold and it then became the Air Flare models F-86 (this is the one I owned). It is about the same size as the JHH F-86.
You might be able to tell if it is the Air Flare kit by looking at the inside of the glass fuse just above where the fan is mounted. Mine had a little peice of paper (about 1/2" x 1") molded into the fuse in this location that said "Air Flare models" on it. It could only be read from the outside, but if there is no paint on the inside of the model you might be able to see the paper from the inside if it is there.
