One thing as a newbie to flying. Not a newbie to building. I just built my Kadet Senior and it was a real labor of love, not an easy task at all.. BUT... easy to fly. Im so excited, I was making unassisted landings on my 3rd flight with a trainer box and soloed on flight #6. Maybe its me, maybe its the plane but as far as learning the basics of flight control I cant imagine anything being any easier than my big ol' slow flying Kadet...

The reason I replied however is that theres a guy at the field flying a U Can Do ARF and I have my eye on it bigtime. From what I see it can perform anything the pattern planes can just not nearly as cleanly. His has a 4 stroke .71 in it and he says its a little sluggish on vertical maneuvers, but I have seen it almost complete a knife edge loop. If it flies as well as you guys say it does I will have one pretty soon because flying around in circles wont satisy me much longer.
