Finally got my Kadet Sr ARF finished up. Took a little longer because of my adding the wheel pants, but I really wanted them on this airplane. For your reference:

Main gear: modified GP 1/4 scale Giles 202
Tailwheel: Ohio small 6-12lbs
Wheelpants: ABS plastic, from a Lanier 35% Giles I upgrade to aftermarket fiberglass ones

The Kadet, as shown, balances right on the main spar (~4" back from LE) with the flight battery pack just ahead of the wing LE. Perfect. The ASP .75 is way more power than it needs. A .60 would have been ideal but I don't have one, so I put on the mildest .75 I got. All up weight is 7 lbs 10 Oz. I could have easily kept it below 7lbs by removing the wheel pants and using a lighter tailwheel assembly, but with such a big wing, weight is not a concern. As is, the wing loading is only 14.9 Oz per sq.ft.

The tailwheel mounting area is reinforced with a liteply plate cut to fit inside the fuse. I could have added the ply plate on the outside of the fuse, as I have done on other planes, but this plane has easy access to the inside. This way I didn't have to mess with recovering.

The main gear mounting area is reinforced with double ply plates, as well as ply stiffener braces on the fuselage sides. I also replace a section of the balsa fuselage bottom, as I didn't want the gears to sit on soft balsa. Six 8-32 bolts and blind nuts secure the main gears to the fuse.
