Default RE: Kadet Senior

Jolly:


I have built and flown a Kadet Senior. I did not have ailerons and flew it as a basic 3 channel trainer. It flew great and was very docile. I had a lot of fun with it but it is massive and that flat wing provides a lot of lift. I put an O.S. 50 in it and this gave it enough power. Mykits called for a .40 engine but I believe this under powers the plane because of its massive size. If you put ailerons on, I would consider a much larger engine otherwise you will have a plane with ailerons that can't do much. To your basic question, I have heard of these planes built with ailerons with no structural modifications. Also, you may want to check with SIG as I thoought I saw them advertising an ARF with ailerons. Good luck with your build, it is a good plane to fly just for a change of pace and like every SIG kit I have made, it is a quality product.
