RE: Sig Kadet Senior ENGINE Size
I converted mine to taildragger, and the .75 2stroke balances right on the money. It still flies light as a feather and is one of my favorite planes to bring to the field for relaxed Sunday flying.
Yes, the .75 is way overkill, but it provided the needed noseweight so I didn't have to jam all the radio gear all the way to the front. And if you are going to put floats on it, a bit more power isn't a bad idea.
An Irvine .72 would be superb on the Kadet Sr. I had an Irvine .53 a couple of years back and it was bar none the most well-mannered glow engine in that size I have run. The beauty of an airplane like the Kadet Sr is the wide range of powerplant it will take. A .40 will do just fine as well.
