RE: Kadet Senior - Taildragger Conversion -Mains
Mr. Rs, Nice mods on the Kadet!
I have finally been able to obtain a SIG Kadet Senior Arf which was no easy feat to say the least. I want to mount a Saito .80 inverted on this ship so as to maintain the asthetics as best as possible. I understant that I will need to lower the fuel tank so that I am not siphoning fuel into the carb. I noticed further up the post you mention this modification where you lowered the tank about an inch and a half. How did you do this? Dremmel & flex shaft tool or?? Also you purchased a landing gear set after market, could you please provide me with the dimensions as I like the stance of your kadet, also were there any off the shelf gear sets that you know of that come reasonably close to your custom set? Also what diameter and make are the main wheels? I have an extra set of wheel pants sitting around which are .60-.90 size and I think I can modify them to work with this kit. Lastly, you mention an exhaust extension which looks real nice as you have been able to divert the exhaust away from the ship really effectively, are these extensions after market or only an OS option? Thanks for the very informative post on these really cool mods [8D]
Best Regards,
Paul
