Daywalker --I like your suggestion about the struts....I recently finished a Midwest 300XS and was very impressed with the way it built....I just have most of the fuse done on the Super Stinker...I took tailskids advice and put spruce stringers on the bottom of the fuse...Where that 1/32 plywood forms the turtledeck I like to run a 1/4 sq balsa on top of each of the fuse sides and cut the ply a little short...then fill any gap with filler...that way you get nice flush sides without the overhang...Were you pleased with your wing alignment as built/designed or did you have to do alot of dinking to get it right??? The only other biplane I've done was a Pica 1/5th Waco and the wing alignment just about had me crying!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Bob
