RE: Another Kadetito Build

Thanks! It's definitely on the list to build another, but right now I'm working on a built-from-plans Big Stik 60 (but it's being built out of sticks instead of slabs...coming out well and LIGHT).

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

Thanks. I will pick up some of those props and see if I can get it above 16.5k. Am I in danger of ruining the engine at the current rpm? Or is it just a matter of not getting the best power?

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

That is perfect! I was wondering if I could remove that screw, but I didn't want to break it!

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

I have a new .074 from nvengines.com. Runs great. I've installed it in a Kadetito and so far it flies perfectly. I haven't really tried to spin it up too far as I didn't really need the power and...
