Ground attitude is more level than in the photos...did some creative bending.
FWIW my Kadet senior has the infamous saggy mains and sits pretty nose high...no trouble AT ALL landing that bird...and it's a kite (20 years old and never been crashed!). In fact, landings with a victory roll (holding the nose off as long as possible) are pretty dang fun...even now with all the other planes in the hangar. Love that bird. My old Kadet is the reason for this build, as my dad misses that plane a lot, but doesn't have the time, field access, or location (I'm 700 miles away) to put any stick time on it. So now I'm giving him a solution...a smaller version he can fly almost anywhere!
Here's a pic of the old Kadet (we call it the Big Green Ugly...even though we think its beautiful...some guys at the field where I flew growing up nicknamed it that...and it stuck)
That's my boy in the pits. Three generations of RC enthusiast have now flown the same plane (though he still needs my help...he IS only 3).
We shall see how it works before making changes as I need to get this off the board and done...other projects are waiting (gonna do a Big Stik 60 scratch from plans next...or a WWRC 50cc Profile...depending on when the WWRC profile is back in stock).
Here's a pic of the covering process:
(sorry for the ninja edits...fixed the gear and decided to edit the post)
