RE: Kadet Senior Engine
I have been flying a kit built Kadet Senior for over a year. It has a Super Tiger .51 engine with a Perry carburator, mounted horizontally with ST silent muffler and a twelve ounce gas tank, three channel operation, set up per kit instructions but converted to tail dragger landing gear. It is a pure joy to fly on calm days and even wind up to 10 mph. Slows down to feather light landings and touch and goes, flies mostly at near idle speeds and my best flight in early morning calm conditions is 63 minutes. Most flights are 50 minutes long. The engine shows a nice smoke trail running at all speeds. It has great transition and runs smoothly for the whole flight. I think the kit built Kadet Senior with Super Tiger .51 and Perry carb is a great combination for relaxed flying on the wing. Great to fly at the field sitting in a lawn chair.
