Hey Mike! I remember your Kommander and the Kav conversation. Kavaliers that I've flown with are really decent performers - more maneuverable/energetic/fun than the Kadets. Actually, they're quite equal (and more) to my ancient CG Sr Falcon which was built a bit different from plans (flattened dihedral, dual aileron servos, slightly larger rudder) - not really very far from my Midstar-40. You're going to like this plane - - A LOT!!
