Don Peters at MapleLeaf Design makes it and Joe Wurts was involved in the
design of it.

The web page above has all the specs you probably need. Don is one of the
best guys I have ever dealt with in this hobby.
I currently own one and enjoy flying it, I've had it for about a month. I
put over 4 hours of stick time on it including a F3J practice session and a
1 hour plus thermal flight on Sat. Absolutely the coolest and most
impressive ship in my quiver right now. I am into F3J and American style
TD competition.
I guess I could go on and on about what it does so great, but I'll just say
I already put my name on "The List" for two more.
Took me about 4 long evenings to build it, and I am pretty slow. It is a
very complete, high quality kit.
The Icon is a winner,
