Hi Curt:

Your Kadet Senior looks GREAT! I am building one too, and have been wondering why all the other pics I've seen seem to have the main gear too far aft ... as behind the forward cabin former, and they all seem to look destined to be nose-over candidates. Or the nose seems too long. Or, they just don't seem to look "right". Yours just seems to have the perfect proportions, at least in my opinion.

I was planning to brace up the fuse bottom ahead of that former, to get the gear ahead of the leading edge of the wing just a tad.
This seems to be what you did ???

Also what did you use for main gear ???

It seems like you used the stock 3-3/4 in. wheels ???

What size prop are you swinging ???

Thanks for the help,

Russ
