Default RE: Identifying an old model

I think its likely the Kaydet Seniorita whichs does have a 63 inch wingspan and no ailerons. It is an identical structure to the Kaydet Senior just smaller. Oh and by the way its a superb trainer.

What was throwing things for a loop was the plastic wingtips. I don,t beleve any of the kaydets ever used a plastic wingtip even the latter arf versions.

All of the Kaydets used an identical and distinctive shape in the horizontal stab. If you could post a pic confirmation would be easy.

Good you have a background in training and understand the pressure that can occur when training some close to you. I too have been involved in flight training for many years and did train my my wife through her private. That was my most difficult student ever full scale or model. Its not something I recommend.

I,ve an appointment in the morning with just such a situation where the husband was attempting to teach the wife RC in this case and their marriage was even in doubt over this. I agreed to takeover at this point and have no doubt she will be fine with someone who is not her husband.

I don,t know if you have any experiance with a buddy box or not but if not I highly recommend you practice with one first with an experianced pilot on the box. There is a certain amount of skill in choosing the right moments to take over and most new Rc instructors tend to let an out of control situation go much to far.

Enjoy
