RE: Midwest Super Stinker revisited.
Steve, I can't tell you how disappointing it is to see another fine kit discontinued. I'm sure the Super Stinker kit must have been expensive to produce. There are a lot of lite ply parts which probably dull the die cutters very quickly. Laser cutting would reduce the tooling maintenance and replacement cost as well as produce a better quality product throughout the production run. In addition, the short tooling setup time for laser cutting facilitates small production batch sizes which reduces inventory cost. I hope Midwest stays in the business of producing kits, however, they need to update their operation.

By the way, here are a couple of pics of my modifications to the tail to convert the Super Stinker S11-260 to a Super Stinker S1-11b. There is a significant increase in tail area.
