Hi Flylow,

I converted a Senior Kadet kit to a tail dragger and I just run the engine upright. Upright will also help with the idle and low speed running. If you decide to go inverted Id recommend have a onboard glow driver to keep the glow plug hot for low rpms.

I faired in the nose to clean up the front end. I used a Sig Fourstar 120 aluminum gear for the mains ( It fits like it was meant to be). The Klett .60 size tail wheel assembly worked well in the back.

Good Luck and have fun with your Kadet
