Stephen Calhoun Smith - better known as Cal Smith - was a giant in our hobby.  He excelled at designing, building, flying, writing and illustrating - free flight, control line, radio control and boats.  He took photos for his articles and processed the photos himself, and his artwork has graced the covers of many model magazines over the years.

David Long - then Chief Engineer at Piper Aircraft - designed the Long Midget for the 1948 Cleveland Air Race.  It continued to show up at races in the following years - though it never won a race, its appearance and excellent overall performance created a demand for plans and then a kit for home builders.

The design was modified over the years; perhaps most apparent at first glance was mounting the landing gear in the wings.

Rights to the design are now owned by Mustang Aeronautics, which markets a Midget Mustang MM-1 kit to the homebuilt market.

Cal's model employed a fully symmetrical airfoil and he cites speeds of 65 to 70 mph with "good stunt performance."
