Never heard of it. Is it a production unit, or a one-off homebuilt? Do
you have a photo of it? Also, the N-number might give us a clue.

One thing to watch for is that aircraft homebuilders will sometimes
construct an aircraft from a kit or from plans, and then register it
as having a type completely unrelated to original design. For example,
I've seen RVs and HPs show up as type "QS-1" and stuff like that.
There is absolutely no rule that says that a homebuilder has to
register the aircraft they built from their RV-6 kit as an "RV-6." The
homebuilder is the manufacturer of record, and they can call it
anything they want.

As for value, that could be anywhere on the map depending on
condition, performance, utility, and historical value. If you're the
owner, the most practical way of determining the value is to offer it
for sale and see what people offer for it. And for that, you might
find that eBay is your best bet.

Thanks, Bob K.
