For the first few flights of my Kadet Mk2 (OS 46ax & topflite 11*7 prop) It climbed like a devil when under full power. My buddies that I fly with figured it was the design of the plane. I had my cg set at 3" (manufacturer says cg @ 2 3/4 - 3 1/8.)


After closely reading the manual, Sig suggested putting the cg right at the front of the range as their Kadets responded best there for arobatic flight. I then set the cg @ 2 3/4". Now there is "almost" no climbing at full power. Loops, rolls and even inverted flight was dramaticly improved. Low & fast banked fly bys are not scary anymore. [X(]

Perhaps this setting is not adisable for beginers as throwing the throttle open alone will not pull you of of danger quickly without inputting elevator...

I should also add that landings are a fare bit faster now for me with my cg at 2 3/4.

I should add:

(my Kadet)
Main Wing incidence, 0 degrees
Evelator incidence, 0 degrees
Engine downthrust, 2 degrees
Engine Right Thrust, 3 degrees
