Thank you all. Yes it is very satisfying to build from a kit and see it actually fly.
No I didn't get a chance to fly it myself (hopefully tomorrow after field cleanup). I didn't have an extra clevis and it was time to go to work anyway.
Here is an older picture. I covered the wingtips with the same green Monocoat as on the fuse. sides, top and tail feather trim. Added a Dubro exuast extension (to bring the exuast farther down and make cleanup easier) and, of course, the Kadet Senior decals on the forward fusalage sides.
