Hello,
Thanks to all the great responses here and the wealth of information I found in older threads, I have chosen the Sig LT-40 ARF as my trainer. It has been ordered and is currently enroute along with a TT Pro .46 to power her with. This airplane/engine combo seemd like the consensus pick as the most solid combo. While I read good things about the OS .46 AX as well, I decided on the TT as most agreed that it was as solid of a runner and cost 30 dollars less.
However, after ordering I ran into an opinion that the Kadet makes for a better trainer with an OS .40 LA powering it as the OS engine is easier to tune and the .40 size is a more appropriate power source for a new flyer. Moreso, I read that a used engine may be better as it has already been broken in and tuned, while a .46 was overpowering the Kadet and eroded some of the Kadet's signature flying attributes.
So with that said, I found a .40 LA for 40 bucks, and the owner claims that it has only had a gallon put through it. Should I go for this instead and save the TT Pro, that I spent 95 on, for my second plane? I am planning on getting a Sig 4* kit to build over the winter.
What do you guys think? Just roll with the TT Pro 46 I have coming with the Kadet or buy the OS 40 LA? This will be my first flying experience, so please keep that in mind.
Thanks!!
P.S. I ordered Hitec HS-325BB servos for the Kadet.
