You speak truth, kemosabe.

I LOVED my Midget Mustang. GMS76 on a 13x8 APC with a Jtec pitts muffler. One thoroughly betchin' model. Total crowd-pleaser, with liquid-smooth maneuvers and lickety-split fly-bys. Guys coveted it, you could see it in their eyes. After three seasons of hard flying, it finally dug some serious turf when the battery connector failed (I believe), but up until then it was my favorite model, among many. I liked it so much I bought another kit right away, and will be putting it together this winter, this time with a Saito 91 in the nose.

My one hint is to reinforce the landing gear wires with a rear diagonal stiffener wire, so the wheelpants don't swing back and poke the bottom skins of the wings in a stub-toe landing. Other than that one weak spot, it is a fine airplane in every way, and it has trick written all over it. Don't let a newbie try to fly it, fergawdsakes.

Don.
