Need info on old Midwest "Mach 1" pattern kit

Hi all,I posted this on RCU also, so don't be upset if you read it twice!Here it goes:A friend just gave me a Midwest "Mach 1" pattern plane that he pickedup at an estate sale approximately 10 years ago. I don't know howlong it had been sitting prior to that.Basically, it is a .60 size, 62" wingspan pattern ship with Foam CoreWings and Stab. Unfortunately, there is only 1 sheet of plans withthe fuse on it, and no instruction book or any directions on what todo with the foam wing, etc. It looks like it was started briefly, asthe left and right fuse sides look assembled (albeit poorly). I'm notsure if all the parts are there, as I can't find a parts list!Does anyone know anything about this style of plane, such as itshistory, is it a good flyer, any characteristics, info on building,etc? Also, if anyone has access to the full set of plans andinstruction manual, and is willing to make me a set or sell them, itwould be a huge help!

Who are you replying to? I wish rcgroupers would hit the reply button to the post they are replying to, that way the relevant text gets copied into their post.

Can't help you with the Midwest kit, but if you want to build one, it was originally a construction article by Norm Page in June, 1973, Model Airplane News. Check with MAN.

Google for 'mach 1 norm page' and 'mach i norm page'. I saw a short kit listed.
