DOES MIDWEST STILL PRODUCE THIS KIT? DO THEY MAKE AN ARF VERSION? THANKS FOR THE HELP.

Yes the do, I almost bought it for my winter project but it's alittle bigger than I wanted. No ARF version........yet.

FlyerDave-- I see you are in Mt Olive. There is one built and RTF in the Antique Barn in Wilson (I used to own it-- Great flyer)-- Can probably be had for $700.

HEY THANKS,
I MAY BE GOING TO WILSON ON THURSDAY!

My pleasure

Kit, yes. Arf, no.

Excellent flying bipe, but NOT 3D. A lot of additional building information for this plane can be found in Harry Higleys' book called "Bipes". It's well worth the investment.

The Super Stinker has been discontinued[].........

Are you sure? The MidWest web site still shows it.

If so, guess I better get one while The Empire still has a few. Tis is one of my long-range project plans.

I stopped at the LHS (first class shop) today to check price and availability and his on-line info from distrubutors listed the Super Stinker from Midwest as 'discontinued' and unavailable. However, Tower Hobbies' website says 'In Stock/Limited Quanity'.

Hmmm... okay, thanks. Guess I'd better order one too.

What engine will you be using?

Saito 1.50

Uh... you sure that will be enough???

A trusted friend flew one with a 1.20. Said it was one sweet flying bird. He may be sort of an old school flyer, you know, no 3D, just smooth and graceful with the basic aerobatics. I guess I fly that way to some extent. So, his suggestion is that a 1.50 is good. Midwest recommends 1.50 - 2.7 four stroke. Great Planes Super Skybolt's recommended 4 stroke is .91 - 1.20 with only 3" less wingspan than the Stinker. However, before I buy the powerplant I'll do a little more research. There's always Saito's 1.80.

Think about the Saito 1.80, or a Moki 1.8 to 2.1. You will definitely want the extra power to fly this bipe the way it should be flown.
