I agree with raggman, get an experienced RC'er to look things over. there may be some crash damage or wear /tear needing attention.by this time the fuel tank may need refurbishing too. lines can soften/rot. otherwise the Kadet should do you well. theKougar-- all solid color not at all good for orientation. recover or ad lots of yellow/orange. blue, silver,chrome, light blue very hard to see properly.its going to be some time before you put this one in the sky by your self so you have time.
