Default RE: next kit for second airplane

The Midstar will do all the basic aerobatics. Loops, rolls, spins and
my favorite...cuban 8s. But...

The jump to warbirds is a big jump. Even for pilots with several
years experience. Its not the speed or the aerobatics its the
wing loading and the resulting sometimes unpredictable stall
characteristics of a lot of warbirds. Nothing will ruin your
day faster than getting a nice warbird too slow on approach
and watching it snap right into the dirt.

By all means build em if you want em. But wait a while
on flying them.

The Midstar is easy to build. Excellent instructions.
Build it stock except for the tail wheel. Get a Sullivan
tailwheel bracket. And going to dual aileron servos
mounted in the wing is worthwhile. Other than that
build her stock.
