Default Midwest Super Sweet Stick question.

Way back in the '70s and early '80s Midwest put out a 60 size version of their Sweet Stick. It's wing has a cord of 12". On the plans it shows the center on the CG range as being back 4.5" from the leading edge of the Constant Cord/no Sweep Wing. It seems to me that this is a bit far back from what I've done in the past. Anyone here remember the plane and could offer any advice?

The Sweet Stiks all had a generous tail surface area. This allows the CG to be farther back. I'd set it at around 30% and experiment from there.

One of the answers I got on another forum broght up the issue of the aileron cord. Is this added to the wing cord to compute the MAC?

Yes, it's part of the wing.
