I built my Midstar 40 a while back. Great flying plane BTW. I built it stock except for being a taildragger and I added wheel pants. Made the plane look cool. it also actually flies better with them on. I have an MVVS 40 with a tuned mufler in it. It goes like the Hammers of H**L. Really more motor than this plane needs. I did some repairs and had a good pattern pilot give it a shakedown flight. He shook it down all right. He flew the intermediate pattern with it. He showed it no mercy. Still in one piece. Good strong grat flyin plane. You will like it a lot. Just no more than a 46 BB 2 stroke engine in it and you will be fine.

BTW it was a very straight forward build with great plans and really good instructions.
