Default RE: Ugly Stick Build

Back in the '80s I built 3-4 40 size Midwest's "Das Ugly Stick". At least today I think they were Das Ugley Stick rather then Sweet Stick. Anyway, for my two cents, they were a fun bird to fly and an easy kit to build. However, I don't know if the Midwest kit was a Phil Kraft or a Jensen version nor do I really know the difference. Could someone tell me the difference. I would like to build another stick, just to have it around. I really don't know who has kits, so I guess I'll order the plans and scratch build one. There are a couple ARFs out, however I am not much on ARF. In my opinion, for what ever it is worth, building is a major part of the hobby. Which of the plans available today resemble the old Midwest kit version?
