G'day

Yes, the Kadet Senior is my favorite plane for just plodding around and initial teaching. Mine all have four strokes just because I like four strokes but a friend has one with an LA 40 in it. She takes a while to become airborne but once there, the LA 40 is quite enough to have her floating around.

Some years back a friend of mine managed to come second at the world championships in scale with his model of an AVRO 504 powered by a humble OS loop scavenged 35. The LA series are the direct descendants of those engines and are still good engines for simple scale subjects. They also make great diesel conversions with Bob Davis's heads.

I have several friends who are learning the ropes at the moment. They insist in using large complex engines and they keep having problems. Pity they don't consider the LA series.

Cheers

Mike
