My Midwest Extra XS weighs 15 lb. I have a ZDZ40. Flies great. JR 8611A for rudder, Futaba 9451's for elevators and ailerons.
I destroyed my wing into the flightline fence and had to buy a new kit to rebuild the wing. If you have not yet thrown away your scrap from punching out ribs, trace them onto paper first. Hopefully you will never need to, but in case you need to replace a rib, or a wing, you will need a template. I DID trace my ribs as I built the second wing, so I can provide them if you ever need them. As you know, you need those jig tabs to get the taper and washout right.
There MAY be foam wing cores out there for the MW extra, but I have never looked into that.
I know what it's like to build with little kids. I have three 8 and younger. On weekdays I build after 9 P.M. when all I want to do is sleep. Sigh...
