Vince Micchia had four designs in the Classic era that I found in Tom Morris' book, all published in Flying Models Magazine. The first was the Mag Jet, in Oct. 1967, then the Boomer in April '68, then the King Cobra profile in May '69, and followed by the ME-109 profile in June '69. The Cobra and the ME-109 are a little different from the Midwest kits, just looking at them at a glance. It's interesting to note that neither the kit nor the mag plan has the correct fin/rudder shape for a King Cobra. Chris McMillin got a special dispensation from Mike Keville to fly the Midwest P-63 at the first two VSC contests just to help the entry numbers! I don't know the complete history of Midwest, but a company by that name did produce the Gollywock, Jabberwock and Dynamoe free flight rubber kits before the Classic C/L model era, and the Gollywock is eligible for Old Time Rubber, I believe. I can't remember the cut-off date, but remember trying to verify that by finding an add in Air Trails magazine. The Midwest kit of the Magician came after Jim Silhavey kitted it himself, I have an example of that kit. I would be interested in reading about the complete history of Midwest, if anyone knows where that could be found.
Type at you later,
