Default ...flying stone

Hi Everyone;

Greetings to all from the 'Valley of the Sun'.

My story of woe dates back to the early '70s, wherein I had built a Midwest kit, 'Das Little Stik', powered with a ST .23. Flew it several times, and had a hard time with it, CG was OK; had my Brother Steve fly it, [he is a much better pilot than me, always was...], and he said, 'Joe, get rid of this sucker, it's a flying stone'. And I did, kept the woderful little ST 23 though.

The kit quality was great, went together great, as do all Midwest kits, but it sure did not fly well. Best regards to all from nice and warm Phoenix,
