That plane is a 3dhobbyshop 70" Velox:

mine is an electric setup using a Motrolfly 4325-425 motor, Castle
Creations HV120 ESC, Hitec 7955 servos throughout, and a 6s5300 battery for
power. Very fun plane... very agile, and fast! It's definitely one of my
favorites.
The plane is modeled after the full scale "Velox Revolution":
