Default RE: Midwest Star Duster

Mike B, Looking good on your build. After looking at the pictures, I remember that after the build that I should have sheeted one more rib bay of the leading edge of the wing. That is because when I carry a plane to the flight line, I always grasp the plane by the leading edge of the left wing near the fuselage, and the fuselage just ahead of the tail surfaces. I am right-handed. I was always afraid that I would damage the wing when carrying it out to the flight line, but I never did.

Thanks for the kind words on the covering job, it was our first attempt at something more than basic. The bottom of the wing was covered in 2" checker board, red and white. I was trying to make it look something like the picture on the box.

Keep us posted on the build and flying, I really liked this plane, and still kicking myself in the a__ for dumb-thumbing it into the ground.

Old bird, over and out.
