Default RE: Low Wing Stick?

A long, long time ago, Midwest was the manufacturer of the "Stick" line of kits. There was the Little Stick for .25 engines, the "Sweet Stick" for .40/45 engines, the "Sweet and Low Stick" low wing stick for 40/45 engines, the "Giant Stick" for .60 engines and up, and my personal favorite, the "Das Bipe Stick" for 45 to 60 engines. What a good flying biplane.

The Sweet and Low Stick was an excellent low wing trainer if built with dihedral as the plans called for, and very aerobatic if built with a flat wing. Your right about the diference between high and low wing construction. Just turn the fuselage over and mount the tail feathers on the new top side and it's the same as a Sweet and Low Stick.

All the kits flew well and were easy to build. Wonder what happened to them all?
