Question Midwest Twin Stick

Anyone out there that can point me to an old MIDWEST Twin Stick un-built Kit? They were powered by .19 to .35 engines. Great flyer and very stable on only one(1) engine, were able to climb gently and able to control nicely if that happened. Have plans but thought I would see if anyone has the complete un-built kit yet. - Thanks - Darryl.

How well I remember this plane. I still have it in the cellar. I flew it first with OS .25's and switched to OS .25 FSR's. It flew great and caused a sensation in my club as I was the only one who had a twin. At the time we were a rather young club. I covered it with Fabricote which was made by Monocote. Awful stuff! After each flying session I had to super glue the seams as it refused to stick to itself for any length of time. It also turned dirty-looking after a while. Don't really know what I'm going to do with it. It has to be completely recovered. Must be 30 or more years old by now. Good luck on your hunt, it's an enjoyable build.

I sure would like to have a copy of the plans. I want to build a large scale twin, but want to get my feet wet with a smaller sport model.

Bob, I think the shipping would be too great all the way from Hawaii to Minnesota. Hope I'm spelling that correctly. Thanks for the reply however. I guess if you were closer I'd be interested.

Thanks Again. Sincerely - Darryl

I checked in the cellar and I don't have the plans. Thought sure I did. Anyway, good luck in your search. By the way, these just may be available from RCM Plans Service. If memory serves, this was one of their builds. I've heard there are problems with their site, so again, good luck.
