If you really want a challenge, order plans for the Kadet Jr. It was a true ''builders kit'' as you had to do some serious shaping when building the cabin front and nose area. I'm building my second, just using the plans as the kit and many of the parts are no longer available
That is how I built my last Kadet Jr. It is my 3rd. I have two sets of plans. They are truly great economical trainers. All of mine were modified for ailerons. That made them fairly sporty. The all would spin like a top and recover easily.
An OS .25 up front and they sip fuel, Will tolerate wind way better than my Kadet SR ever will. I used to wait for the wind to come up before flying them.

Good looking airplane. I'm taking mine a bit further, making a few changes to the wings during the build:
1) removing all the dihedral
2) adding three bay wide ailerons that are 25% of the chord
3) extending the wings one bay at each end to help carry the extra weight of floats
Should be interesting to see how it flies when done
