Yeah, thanks for the compliment. The Kadet Senior is pretty big. I learned how to fly on it, and still have it. It's never been in a bad crash, just some minor bad landings as can be expected. It really floats from what I remember. It's only a three channel so you kind of have to fly on days with fairly light winds. With a TT GP42 it's not a powerhorse and its best trick is flying slow. I will admit that when I was flying on my own, I would fly out too far and then I would have to get it turned around and fly it back. If I got it nice and high, I could do a half loop to inverted and try to hold it. But with all that dihedral, it really likes to fall out to level flight. I'm going to have to get it out, it's been a "hangar maiden" for too many years.
Yeah, putting on the rubber bands almost takes two guys. Look how big it is!
