Default RE: Kadet Senior

That is a kit-built Kadet Sr. if it has no ailerons. The ARF has ailerons. The only thing I'd do, other than the work modifying the wing for the ailerons, is to remove most of the dihedral. This one has a lot to make rudder-only turns easier, and the plane more inherently stable. You don't need all that if you have the ailerons to help in the turns, etc.

Do you plan to make barn door ailerons (like the ARF) or do strip ailerons. I'd recommend the extra work to make barn doors, use two servos. The barn door type will have less tendencies for adverse yaw than strip ailerons.
