So, I've been flying about 18 months now. Used a taildragger Mid-star for a trainer and 3 months later was hanging a .90 sized Edge on it's prop. Well, long story short, I happened across a Sig Kadet Mk II at a garage sale for $10.00. It has servos and a receiver in it and just needs to have the stabilizers epoxied back on. Got it home and was taking a closer look at it.... The motor mount doesn't have any holes in it. This thing's never flown! Well, didn't get it done before dark and I've run across one or two more things that need to be fixed, so she should maiden over the weekend or next week some time. Depends on when I can find time.
Hehehe.... The only engine I had laying around at home just so happens to be a Webra Speed 40. She's gonna be one scary fast trainer. Should be fun.

Congratulations on the find.
Another shinning example that you can get a good deal on a trainer (for those that want to start flying on a limited budget)
Don't be surprised if you learn a thing or two with that trainer that you never had from the more aerobatic models.

Heh... A friend of mine that I go flying with has another old trainer that we call our high wind plane. We don't usually take it up until the wind speeds reach at least 25-30mph. It's a riot to fly.
