I just built and am now soloing a Kadet Senior.. It is super easy to fly if you understand the basics of flight already. I soloed it in 6 flights and can land it no problem, but I did have a great teacher.. Another thing, its a little sluggish to respond so be sure and set the elevator and rudder throws at least midway or in on the control horn. Especially the rudder. If you buy the ARF I guess its all done for you... CHEATER! Just kidding, I like to build. Plus the ARF comes with less dihedral and Ailerons. Im planning on building another wing like the ARF with Ailerons here pretty quick so I can learn all 4 control variables. The Kits dihedral lets the plane turn like it has ailerons but its pretty much set up to learn basic flight. I can do a loop with mine. But my loops are kindof impressive looking cause I can never seem to get my wings truly straight and level, looks more like an albatross doing a humungous corkscrew roll[8D]
