Everyone should have a Kadet Senior. IMHO....it's a joy to fly and really benefits from a bit more power. I have a magnum .91 in mine...flies great. I never installed the stock gear....it is a bit funny to see wire gear on a plane that size. I can see why SIG uses it, you would have to try to land it hard. With a .91 at idle, you can cut your power about a week in advance of your approach and still not get it down. It's a blimp...I think SIG fills the wings with helium or something.

Flying this plane is like taking 'a break'. It practically flies itself...I just 'nudge' it every now and then to keep it in the same county and to keep it from landing on the freeway. It will do loops and rolls, but keep some altitude. I have not flown it inverted, but I imagine it would do as well as my trainer (uh.. the KS IS a trainer, so ...).

I will be starting a related thread looking for a KS arf for a student at my field...he can't seem to find one.

Later,
