I have a kadet senior.....its been built for 6 years but never flown. I have heard nothing but good things about this plane. Ive heard that this thing will fly in winds that ground nearly every other plane out there. Like I said, I cant speak from experience, cuz Ive never flown mine, but those are the reasons I bought it and will be flying it very soon. Big, slow, super low wing loading, heavy lifting flyer. the perfect trainer.
