Larry I have had considerable experience with the clone 'Super Seniors' which occurred when Sig had their problems with CMP and for some time Sig could had nothing to sell but CMP sold considerable numbers of the Super Seniors with a much cheaper hardware package including useless pushrods and etc.

It was during this gap for perhaps a year and a half that I was running a popular series of pylon races (I think there were six over three years) Just for Senior Cadets any version kit, Sig ARF or the clones Super Senior and the world models Super Frontier version.

The Super Seniors were drastically cheapened and started to come in heavier and heavier with the heaviest I ever weighed was 11.5 pounds. I actually had the opportunity one time to weight the tail feathers (fin, rudder, horizontal stab and elevator with no hardware) but covered just as you would remove them from the box, of both the replacement Sig arf when they got going agine and the feathers of a Super Senior. I do not remember the numbers but do remember the Super's weighed in over twice as much as those from the Sig!

Now rest easy Larry I think you will be happy with your Super even with the extra weight they all flew fine and the sixty one is a good choice. There were a large number of them at one time in our club and none could be called anything other than a cadet even with the extra weight.

Heck I think I have powered senior cadets with just about everything from an OS 35AX all the way to 13 pound thrust Kingtek turbine and loved them all.
