Default RE: What engine should i put in my Kadet?

Hello; I learned the most from a Kadet with an old Saito 45. I know that no one would recommend that combination nowadays, but if I had one today, I'd fly it a lot. I have had success with OS'FP range but not the LA's. I have a pair of TT 46's that have never failed me, more power then you'll need though. A new fellow is flying at our field, he tried an RV4, soon crashed it, he tried a Decathlon, but crashed it. Someone offered him an ARF Kadet cheap with a Saito 65,m which he bought and now flies all the time. He loves th agility and the low speed ability of the big Saito. We have tamed him down a bit, so he'll stop crashing his planes, but he's having a great time with it, and learining how to fly properly.
