First Plane
Greetings All
This is my first Plane , It is a Sig Kadet Senior . That I built from a kit . Was alot of fun to build , and a learning curve about making something fly. I am expereinced in building , and racing R/C Boats for 12 yrs. this was my first plane .
It has 5 flights on it it right now . It flys like a dream . Nice and slow , Gentle , easy to fly . I am running a OS 70 ultimate . and I installed Ailerons in the wings . It was a real relief on its first flight that everything went great . Just a minor fuel leak that was solved by a new zip-tie.

RE: First Plane
It really is rewarding when you start with a box of sticks and it actually flies when you are done.
My first plane was a Kadet Senior I built from a kit, I too added ailerons. One great flying airplane for sure.

RE: First Plane
Dang, from looks of those pictures, it looks like you have been building for years!
Excellent man!
How long did it take you to build that fine looking bird?

I especially like the cheeks. That's a custom mod isn't it?

RE: First Plane
When It Rains , It Pours . I was getting the Senior ready for a Fun Fly this Weekend . Had it on the kitchen table , when the wifes cat crawled under the tail section . Something spooked her . She lifted her butt , and with her tail . She pulled it down on the floor . Breaking the exhaust mounting flange on the cylinder head of the OS70 ultimate. [:@] So looks like all I will be flying this weekend is my Raptor 30 .
Any one want a cat .

RE: First Plane
almost like when my mums cat decided to stick his claws through the covering on my trainer [:@]
and i must say, WOW on that covering job! the covering on my trainer has more wrinkles than a 90-year old pensioner, but the covering im doing on my Mam'selle build is a lot better
with a bit of luck, your repairs should be easy enough to do

EDIT: Excellent first covering job. My first covering job made the airplane look like a giant prune!
