RE: Mid-Star 40 build
My first kit was a Mid-star and I thought the kit quality was great. I am currently building my second kit (Tiger 60) and I am disappointed in the kit quality. A lot of things do not match with the plans.
There is one thing that I have noticed after flying the Mid-Star for 9 months. Top and bottom halves of the canopy are made from plastic material. Over time the vibration of the pilot figure has started to crack the bottom of the canopy. You might want to pick a figure that presents a large surface area where it glues to the canopy, or go entirely without.
I have attached a picture of my Mid-Star. Good luck with yours.
