Great build. I had the Midwest Skyraider until my brother took it out one day and decided how many consecutive loops he could do. Of course he didn't stop until it hit the ground. I got another kit years later but after I framed it up a neighbor's kid destroyed all of the ribs. It's so old now that I'll probably have to scrap the entire plane and start from scratch. All of the Midwest C/L stunt planes are the same airplane with a different fuselage outline and minor changes to the outline of the wingtips and flaps. I was in college at the time. I'm now retired and still enjoy C/L even though I mostly fly R/C.

When I rebuild mine, I think I'm going to retain the same airfoil because it flies well but will redesign the ribs to take conventional spar caps top and bottom with shear webs between them. I may do away with the nibs on the leading ends of the ribs and butt glue them to rectangular stock; not decided for sure yet. I have a router table so it would be easy enough to make a rectangular leading edge with a groove down the back side and then shape it with a razor plane.

The trailing edge stock will still get the notches for the ribs as with the original design.
