I built one of these in 2002, flew it at various VRCS events for years.
Powered it with a Merco 61 and 12x6 prop.
Lovely flyer, no bad habits.

Try Value Hobby.
They have EPP profile foamies in 32" size but more interesting is their 39" size. Flys 3d or regular aerobatic.

Hi all,

Looking for info on the Midwest ''Sweet N Low Stick''.
I know they had a giant 108" version that I am not interested in,
but did they also have a smaller version?

Thanks,
