I does look somewhat like the Edelweiss, except that the Edelweiss was
a standard class, no flaps. *Perhaps this was an alien (i.e. Roswell

Also the Edelweiss was a mostly wood ship, except for the ailerons.


My first guess was the Edelweiss also, then I saw the flaps and
notieced that it was not shredded wood on the wings, but paint and
filler.


The C34 I believe had flaps

Yes but I think the C34 also had top and bottom spoilers. And unless
my eyes are being fooled thre are no spoilers in the photos Mike
linked to.
