RE: SIG Mid Star 40
Hello; I had a /Saito 45 on my first Mid star, it was great. It taught me more about flying then any other plane since. I built 3 altogether, all taildraggers. I put a bigger sullivan tailwheel on for our rough grass field, and braced the vertical stab with tri-stock. The third one I built, I added a little air balance to the top of teh rudder, just a half inch. That one got an Enya 46 FS. I tried zero dihedral, but did n't like it and went back to what the plans called for. After the first one I cap stripped the ribs forward of the spar. I first did this to make covering more attractive, but it made a better wing so aI did it to the third one too.
The first one was covered like n Extra with dark blue and a red strie going front to back, the second was like the box, the third was all red.
