. Fast forward to 2016 and I built this, and happy to see you could still buy balsa kits. At 46, this is by far one of the most fun airplanes to own and fly. All 3 were converted to taildraggers...my early ones had OS 60s...this one has an OS 40. Fun machine, great build.

Hi Jim did you finish the engine cowl? I had a Kadet 40 years ago and I didn't finish the cowl as i had no way of painting it at the time. I am going to try and find some paint to match the scheme on the box and cover it in Monokote.
Thank You
Michael Johnston
