Default RE: 1/2A trainer anyone?

It just keeps getting better..
another cool thing since the plans are electronic might be a 'scale factor' or something where one could scale the plane to match the popular engines sizes-- but that may take experimentation.. I wonder if a tee dee .020 and a babe bee would haul the same size frame, or more equally than say a pee wee and a tee dee .020.

I guess that's more of a general concept than one to apply to just this trainer model.. There's probably an area rule I should know for scaling. Thinking of the LS150 example, I guess to make this kadetlet a .02 you'd just devide by 150 percent instead?

This whole thread is helpful for us fledgling scratch-building wannabes like me to see how to draw and implement concepts of a familiar design- you make it look easy Bipe! (not that I think it's easy-)
thanks for sharing,
