Kadetito
I bought some Sure Starts a few years ago when they were around $6. Last fall when MAN was having a sale on their plans I found the Kadetito which looked interesting. I tore apart the .049 to clean out, I didn't find any shavings but there was some metal dust inside. I was going to cover the plane in the traditional Sig Senior design but somehow strayed. I had a Cox 6X3 which I started out with, but that turned out to be a no go. All I could get was a long descending glide to the other side of the field. I was worried I may have built it a little heavy. I next tried a 6X4 prop, and off it goes no problem. I had an extra servo so I built my Kadetito with ailerons, which are OK, but they are not really necessary. The rudder has tons of authority and would fly fine just 3 channel.

RE: Kadetito
Oops. it is a G Mark 1.0 cc, 0.61 cubic inches.
They also make a 1.22 CI twin which would be perfect but is hard to find.
I believe the designer flew it on the G Mark 0.61.
Great covering job BTW. Compliments.

Thanks. To tell you the truth I'm happy with the performance of the .049 on it. This one is a keeper .

That is a nice looking job on your project. A friend built one when the plan was first published. He still has it flyis it from time to time.

RE: Kadetito
Very nice! I love Kadets. My first RC plane was a 3 channel Kadet Senior I built from a kit, same colors as yours. Still have it though it needs a few repairs.

Nice lawn Mr. Tee. If you skipped a lawn mow you may have a slot to fix the Kadet...

RE: Kadetito
Nice planes! Thanks for providing the link to the plan...looks like that sale is pretty much permanent. The plan is listed at a discounted price of $7.48. I'm not sure you could get it done at a copy center for that price.

RE: Kadetito
Andrew Donatelli, aka Bipe Flyer, has designed a plane very similar to the Kadetito called the LST (Lynn Sipe Trainer). It's in the sticky at the top of the forum called 1/2A Trainer Anyone? Plans in both zip and pdf version can be found on page 33 of the thread, plus on page 1. A lot of folks have built this plane and all have been very complimentary on the build and flight characteristics.
