Default RE: Midwest Super Stinker

The SS was one of my most favorite planes....and I had a Moki 1.8 on mine too. It is a lot of building for some reason - maybe two wings has something to do with it , but it didn't finish as fast an either the MW Citabria or other kits I've built.

If doing over again I'd strengthen the stringers along the bottom of the fuse - replace with spruce? And I'd go again with Stan's Fiberglass cowl and wheel pants. I made a 'door' in the side of the fuse for the fuel dot - by boxing in one of those punched out sections of lite ply (near the front of the plane).

Flew great and wasn't squirrely on the ground at all (used Sullivan tail wheel). GREAT FLYING BIRD - keep her as light as you can and that Moki will make it into a rocket!!!!
