RE: 1/2A trainer anyone?
Here is a picture of my little Kadetlet. This picture was taken as I glued on the stab. You can see the plan glued to the fuse. That made it easy to cut out. The plane is now completed. I am going to turn it over to its owner today and hopefully (weather permitting) I can post a flight report.
The motor is a norvel 049 with throttle. I had to add nearly 6 oz of weight to the nose of this plane, and have really increased the wing loading. I would recommend to others that you either put a heavier engine on this plane, or extend the nose out some. I built it exactely per the plan (d-tube wing), and it was really tail heavy. A 15 would have made it balance properly, but would have shortened my flight times.
Does anyone have any comments about flying this plane with all of that nose weight? I believe the weight was about 28 oz.
