Any Ideas on what this plane is

I was out to the field and someone came up and said they had some old planes their dad had in their garage and wanted to get rid of them. He gave them to me and I was wondering what this old girl is? It has a 6ft wing span and the covering has to be removed and recovered. I am going to make this into an electric I think. Any Ideas as to what she is?

It looks very much like the Miss America. I have seen 42" span, 48" span, and an 84" span, but that is the first 72" I have seen. You can find plans on outerzone. I am assuming it's free flight? It could very well be something other than the Miss America, but the shape sure looks like a Miss America (it was named this prior to the Miss America P-51 existing). It might also be a Miss Science, also designed by Frank Zaic. http://www.outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=1817

EDIT: I really do think it's the Miss Science. I have looked at it again, and it really does look like the Miss Science.

TYVM for the reply. It sure does look awful close to the Miss Science. I downloaded the plans such as they are in case I need to rebuild anything. I plan on converting it to Electric 2.4ghz. I have to check out Miss America as well. Thanks again I really appreciate it.
