I think that the Mid-Star must share a lot of things with the Four-Star 40. I also notice that there are no more BIY kits on the SIG site... I was trying to find out if the wing was a symmetrical or a semi-symmetrical wing?

I tried clipping one bay on my Four Star 40 and really didn't like the performance that much. I also built another Four Star with larger ailerons and liked them. They were tapered from about 1-1/2" at the root to 3/4" or 1" at the tip, to control flutter but that didn't seem necessary in the end.

The construction photos here remind me of my Four-Star experience. If this is a semi-symmetrical wing, I might get another and experiment. My last Four-Star (I had three, lost the last one to a flame-out and dumb thumbs) which had a modified airfoil, made from a Selig 8036 airfoil with a sheeted LE. I think that performed a bit better than the stock wing. It was something that I did just for the helluvit. Glad that I did. I might get a second Mid-Star and do the same thing if I like the stock one.

Thanks for chiming in, Klaatu (I wonder who else might remember where that comes from??). I looked for a Kavalier on the Tower website but it didn't come up.

Any other good ideas out there??? I like what this thread is turning into... I hope that I'm not hijacking it... not my intention with all my questions...
