Midwest Extra 300 help
 

Good evening folks. I have a small problem that I'm hoping someone can help with. I have two MW Extra 300s, one ready to cover and the second needing some repair. A wheel fell off and the gear pulled out on landing. This took out a few ribs in the wing. Since the other is built I can't trace those ribs to make new ones, could someone scan or trace the first 6 ribs from th root? If they could be emailed/faxed/mailed or what ever I would appreciate it. I will gladly cover any cost involved.

Thanks,
Brian

Brian,

You are in luck. I am currently building the wing for my Midw. Extra. I am about to start the second panel. I can easily trace the ribs onto plain paper for you. PM me an address to send them to. I will be OOT all week, though. Can you wait until the first of April? Just curious about your two Extras. What are you using for power? Mine has a ZDZ40 gas. Weight is the enemy with the Midwest. I am doing everything I can to keep the weight down as I build.

Vinnie, Was looking through old emails and realized I had not said thank you for the tracing! Really sorry about that. I do thank you very much for taking the time to get them out to me. I am going to get my other MW 300 out, finished and ready for a show in September. I'm going to do it up as a sponsored plane (not actually sponsored though) from a local pizza place called Primo Pizza. It will be yellow with red lettering. Should look pretty cool. Thanks again, Brian

You're welcome, Brian,

It was my pleasure. Hope that was what you needed. I am now nearly done with the wing. It goes slow when you have a baby in the house. Sometimes I get up and build at 5 A.M.! You have to do what you have to do! My MW Extra will have the Klein Tools graphic scheme. I have already purchased them from Die-Hard Graphics. I was frustrated to learn that Michael Mancuso is no longer sponsored by Klein Tools. His Extra says New York Jets on it now. Oh well. (mmairshows.com)

Take care,
