Default 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.
