Midwest ME 109
Dave_Trible:
Son in law Kevin picked up a Midwest ME 109 kit and I can't remember just when it came out. Wondering if anyone knows if this is classic legal. I know it's close.

I remember Bob Kilby flying one back in 1975 when I first started flying, if that helps.
Dave_Trible:
Thanks Ty. It will then be a profile class ship for him. I remember an old club member who had one and it was very impressive. He's putting a Mac .35 on it.

Yes, the series came out in the 70's. I had the P-39 and it was a terrific plane for me at the time. The tail did wobble a lot when the engine was running on the ground. Like I said, not knowing any better it got me thru the pattern a lot better than some of the other planes I have built since then. By the way, had a McCoy .40 Redhead that was box stock.
Dave_Trible:
Think I remember that one John. I was thinking of Vince Bernard's 109. Had a really tired old Fox .35 on it and flew soooooo slow. Turn it up for a wing over and you thought it stopped. It just chugged right on over and stayed tight on the lines. Truth be told I got the kit on eBay and thought to build it to test all the .29-.35s I have. Kevin wanted it. Still need to find or draw up something for that job sometime.
