RE: question about first plane?
The only one that may be the Kadet Senior for floating and teaching new pilots would be a telemaster. Both are real floaters and fly on comparably smaller engines. I had a .46 SF on my Kadet, several years ago, and loved it. It was all yellow and so easy to see for miles around. Hope you enjoy yours as much as most of us enjoyed ours, back when they only had three channels.
