If you fly a Kadet Sr. Arf there is a review of the plane in this months RC Modeler.
To me the review seem a little late. Over a yea late to be honest but Its nice too see it. If you fly one tell me what you think of it...
I have a Red one with .40 four stroke. Flies great but took a ton of lead to balance it.

There was a review a couple months ago in one of the magazines...I think it was RC Report. They really liked it except for the fact that it needed 8 or 12 ouncs of lead in the nose to balance!

A buddy of mine is just putting the finishing touches on his in hopes of flying it this weekend.
He put a MDS 78 in his and still added 14oz of weight up front. He's not a 'solo' pilot yet, so I'm assuming he's going to ask me to give it the trusty ol' maiden flight. I hope all goes well. She looks like a real floater with that huge wing.

I hate giving this advice but I will anyway! I have a SR with a Saito 72 4C it required 6 oz lead to balance. The lead came un glued and fell out the elevator control rod hole in the rear (I did not see this happen and flew her for a couple of weeks before I noticed it was gone.
I had full throws on the controls (during this time)and the acrobatics were unbelievable and she still landed like a gentle old bear. This is one plane that can handle "tail heavy" and not turn into a over sensitive pain. I run full throws at 40% expo on my elevator and ailerons and no expo on the rudder.
Good luck
