Default RE: CADET/KADET

Teddy, what you're after is the famous SIGKadet - in whichever of its size variants you wish. Personally, I've got the original 3-channel Kadet from near 30 years ago and still love it, but the new 4-channel planes are even better from what I've heard.

Take a look-see at http://sigmfg.com/cgi-bin/dpsmart.ex...ftF.html?E+Sig - it should help. This page is for the KIT version but there are links on the left side for ARFs and RTFs too.

<span style="font-size: larger;">SHOOT!Going back to check the link I find that it simply sends you to a generic page. HOWEVER, all is not lost. On the left side of that page is a blue box labeled "Catalog order". Click on Aircraft, Kits or ARF, Trainers, Kadet - - you'll find it.</span>

Depending on which engine size you want to use - the Kadet Sr is best with something around a .60, the Seniorita is much smaller (also 3-channel, vs the other versions which are 4-channel) and uses something around a .25 or so. The LT-40 is, at least in my humble opinion, best of the bunch, using something around a .40 - .45. It's the right size, right power, right EFFICIENTuse of your $$$$$$$$$$$'s, and closest to my original version - which, by the way, I also flew successfully on the very first try - TOTALLY BY MYSELF. I've never had the luxury of an instructor to help, just the Kadet, and she does just fine.

It truly is a great "learning" plane.
