If you're new to building, the Sig Kadet is a real builder's kit. There is a lot more work than the usual trainer, and the results are worth it. It has only a few pre-cut pieces, the wing ribs and the firewall. Thats it! the rest is all sticks and a bit of sheeting. It's a great flyer and one of the most kit-bashed kits around. You can turn the engine to the side, or invert it. You can add alerons(reduce the wing dihetheral). It looks sweet as a taildrager to.
