S&L Stick is correct. Other Stix have shoulder-mounted wings...
That can very easily be changed. All one has to do is turn a stick fuselage upside down and go from there. That is why Midwest's late Frank Garcher came out with the Sweet and Low. Many were making their "Sticks" low wing, including me. Frank thought that doing it for them would make it easier for those rather newbies that lacked the experience of making something different from a what a kit was.

I don't think that a Midwest Sweet and Low would do with a Gas Burner like this picture shows. Of course after Midwest went down there were numerous Kits/ARFs for several years using the "STICK" theme in all kinds of sizes. The pictured model could be any of those as at least one met Big Bird requirements. I don't remember all those specifics.

Does this look like a P-51 (actually made from a MW sport-scale P-51 Kit) or more like a Heinkel HE 100?
